MARGATE - The 8th annual Jewish Family Service Card Party, honoring and remembering late philanthropist Bonnie Gurwicz will take place 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 at Harbor Pines Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township. Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch, auction items, door prizes and exciting games of mahjong, bridge and canasta.

The Card Party is one of our most popular fundraisers as it provides guests with a chance to spend an enjoyable afternoon together while JFS is able to raise funds to support programs and services for Village members, JFS CEO Andrea Steinberg said in a release.

Proceeds benefit The Lynn Kramer Village by the Shore, a membership program for adults age 50+. The program provides intergenerational events, transportation, grocery shopping and delivery, Kosher Meals on Wheels and more.

Card Party tickets are $75 per player and The Lynn Kramer Village by the Shore members receive a 20% discount. Participants are encouraged to organize their own table with friends and family. All others will be randomly assigned to a table. Players must bring their own cards and/or game set.

To become a sponsor, contact Beth Joseph at [email protected]. Sponsor levels range from $150 to $2,500. Sponsorships include table signage, complimentary players and additional benefits.
