Welcome to SHM 30 Days of Thrills April 17-May 20, 2023
Get ready for 30 days of extraordinary and incredible experiences!
SHM's 30 Days of Thrills is designed to bring you amazing memories with the people you love the most while supporting the SHM's operations.
Why 30 Days of Thrills?
Each year, SHM plans a fundraising gala to support our Operating Budget so that we can provide the programming we do. In 2021, we changed our format to the “This is SHM Zoom-a-Thon”, which had dozens of events throughout the weekend, in addition to the gala.
In 2022, 80% of our congregational families participated in at least one “50 Days Of Fun” event! That percentage is extraordinary and makes us want to replicate the successes of last year’s experience! The combination of in-person and virtual events proved to be the perfect balance and nearly every event exceeded monetary and attendance expectations!
While 50 Days was an enormous, yet successful commitment, one month seems to represent the “sweet spot” for our main annual fundraiser to support our operations, programming and staffing, to keep our community stronger than ever.
Our Fundraising Goals
We believe in transparency at SHM. You should know where your generosity is going and why it makes a difference.
Congregational Membership dues only cover about 50% of our annual budget. Your fully tax-deductible donations to participate in 30 Days of Thrills events help pay our Religious School teachers what they deserve. They enable us to produce our nationally acclaimed music programs. They allow us to offer Youth Education and summer camp scholarships. They allow us to interact with world class scholars. They allow us to do SO MUCH MORE.
They allow us to be the SHM we desire to be.
You are our Ner Tamid.
You help our light shine brightly and eternally.
