Admin History/Bio

For Israel's fiftieth birthday, the Walk for Israel underwent many dramatic changes. Renamed the "Israel at 50 Fun Walk," the "march-as-one" style became a more staggered walk again, with a brand new seven-and-a-half-kilometre route in downtown Toronto. The new walk was more high profile and elaborate, starting with opening ceremonies and entertainment at Nathan Phillips Square, then winding through Old Jewish Toronto, through two checkpoints, and on to Ontario Place, where the Israel at 50 Festival was held. The date of the walk was Sunday, 24 May, and its slogan was "Let's Step Together." The chairs were Jeff Cohen, Fran Grundman, and Corey Mandell, with the assistance of committee members and walk staff Silvia Astrug and Naomi Cohen. More than fifteen thousand people turned out for the day, and more than $250,000 were raised.

Scope and Content

Sub-sub-series contains textual records, photographs, posters, artifacts (giveaways) and a promotional video from the 1998 Funwalk, the festival, and the learnathon. The files are arranged by function in this order: walk oversight (the Cabinet Committee and chairs), recruitment of participants and staff volunteers, logistics, publicity and design, corporate sponsorship, finances, the walk event itself, the festival, related fundraisers, and post-event evaluation and follow-up.

Notes

Physical description note: Includes 380 photographs (175 negatives), 4 posters, 2 hats, a T-shirt and 1 videocassette.

Also in the file are copies of Russian emigration documents used for reference, and perhaps considered for inclusion, in the adult sponsorship book, since the Walk theme was focussed on the "exodus" of Soviet Jews making aliyah to Israel. These Russian documents include flight tickets, a Soviet Exit visa, an Israeli entry visa, and the form used to "invite" relatives and others to Israel.

File contains minutes of "Athons" chairmen meetings, a flyer for the Pre-Walk-a-thon Bash (danceathon), a flyer for the Aerobathon and two letters regarding the events. File also includes letters, posters and sponsor sheets and 11 colour photographs of the aerobathon.

Admin History/Bio

In 1994, the walk was renamed the Community March for Israel to give it a strong feeling of community spirit, solidarity, and unity. The route was significantly shortened to five kilometres, and it started at a precise time so that all participants walked together; as the posters read, "We walk as one!" The event was held on Sunday, 29 May. It was chaired by Judy Engel and Alan Winer, with UJA staff coordinator Vicki Weiss overseeing the planning and the work of committees. Close to seven thousand participants raised about $100,000 to support teenage olim (immigrants) in Israel. Related fundraisers include the second annual aerobathon, dances held by BBYO and Reena-Kadima-CHAT and a pre-March run of ten kilometres.

Scope and Content

Sub-sub-series contains textual records, photographs and a T-shirt for the 1994 Walk for Israel and the festival. The files are arranged by function in this order: walk oversight (the Cabinet Committee and chairs), recruitment of participants and volunteers, logistics, publicity and design, corporate sponsorship, finances, the walk event itself, the festival, related fundraisers, and post-event evaluation and follow-up.
