San Diego NCSY held its first-ever Philanthropy Shark Tank. Teens spent a day discussing Jewish values, meeting local organizations and learning about philanthropy. The day culminated with the teens pitching one organization to their peers and awarding a grant of $1,000 from the San Diego Jewish Community Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy Fund to the organization with the most votes.The winner was Friendship Circle, an organization which provides support for children with special needs.
