On Thursday, January 15, NextGen hosted another successful
and well attended event – High Score Happy Hour. More than 75 Jewish young
adults gathered at Coin-Op in North Park for an evening of friendly competition
at the classic arcade-themed bar. Attendees noshed on delicious appetizers,
sipped on tasty happy hour drinks, and schmoozed with old and new friends.
Event proceeds benefited One Happy Camper
– a program of the Jewish Federation and Foundation for Jewish Camp, which
sends kids to camp for a traditional Jewish summer camp experience.
“Once again, I am thrilled by the turnout and involvement of
young adults in the San Diego Jewish community,” said Danny Fleischer, NextGen Manager.
“I am proud of the NextGen community for raising a significant amount of money
for One Happy Camper, a program that
is near and dear to my heart.”
