David Posnack JCC

What David Posnack JCC does

David Posnack Jewish Community Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered on the Nina & Louis Silverman Campus in Davie, Florida, serving the Jewish community and broader Broward County residents across all ages, faiths, and abilities. The organization operates a multi-service community center encompassing early childhood education (Singer and Baer Family Learning Centers serving infants through Pre-K), after-school and summer camp programming (Camp Kadima, Maccabi Tzair youth movement), sports and wellness (XZone Fitness Center, aquatics center, basketball, tennis, soccer, pickleball, volleyball, racquetball), cultural arts (Jewish Book Festival, adult enrichment, virtual book club), seniors services (JLunch Senior Lunch Program in partnership with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs), and specialized programming for individuals with developmental disabilities (Giborim United) and children with cancer (Sunrise Programs South Florida).

The business model is a hybrid annual membership subscription plus fee-for-service programming. Membership tiers provide recurring access to facilities and discounts on programs; non-members pay premiums above member pricing for sports leagues, preschool, after-school, and Maccabi Tzair. Revenue is diversified across membership dues, program and class fees, facility rental for tournaments and events, special-event sponsorships (notably the JCC Maccabi Games), and philanthropic contributions flowing through JTribute cards, JPillars annual giving, JLegacy planned giving, and major family foundation partnerships (Posnack, Silverman, Scherr). The corporate partnership program (JCorporate) generates cause-marketing revenue from sponsors such as Coca-Cola and Nicklaus Children's Hospital. The organization reports that 85% of funds raised support mission delivery directly.

The technology stack is conventional SaaS: GroupEx Pro for fitness class registration, Wufoo and 123FormBuilder forms for program sign-up, PubHTML5 digital guides, Authorize.net for payment processing, NCSI for coach background checks, and an active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram (notably @ftlmaccabi). No proprietary platform, mobile app, data flywheel, or AI/ML capability is disclosed. The organization has hosted the JCC Maccabi Games twice (2015 and 2023), serves as a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of Broward County, and is governed by a community board led by Board Chair Cindy Schneider with executive leadership under CEO Scott Ehrlich, CFO Adam Barber, and COO Spencer Linden.
