A big thank you to our dedicated volunteers and community members for making this Super Sunday a historic success on Dec. 8.
We surpassed a record-breaking $224,000 for the day. Mazel Tov to everyone who volunteered and answered our calls! Those dollars enable the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond to fulfill our mission of:
- Strengthening Jewish Identity.
- Fostering Jewish Continuity.
- Inspiring connections to Israel and world Jewry.
Our seventy volunteers were led by Co-Chairs Russ Jennings and Tracy Retchin, We are grateful to all of them for doing the hard work of calling on behalf of the Federation’s 2025 Annual Campaign. (See many photos below)
It was a pleasure to see many seasoned volunteers and a number of new faces, too. Hundreds of meaningful conversations were held during the four -hour telethon.

The Federation’s professional team on Super Sunday was led by Rebecca Spivey, Director of Financial Resource Development Operations.
Congratulations to RTA (Rudlin Torah Academy), which won the Spirit Award this year for most volunteers from a community partner or agency, earning a $1,000 grant for the school.
