Visit www.hac1.org/raffle to participate or email us at info@hac1.org.

Enter for a chance to win $10,000 while supporting Cleveland’s first and largest Jewish day school.

Hebrew Academy of Cleveland was established in 1943 by survivors of the Holocaust and has educated well over 7,000 students throughout our existence. We are currently in our 74th year of existence with an unprecedented enrollment of close to 1,100 students.

The excellent education provided at the Academy is costly – the average cost per child is $10,000 – and over 75% of our students receive some form of scholarship. However, the longstanding policy of the Hebrew Academy has been to educate all children regardless of background and financial ability.

Please join us in supporting this most worthwhile communal institution with your participation in the Hebrew Academy’s raffle.

Raffle Drawing Date: March 19th at the HAC Dinner.
