Join us:
In becoming a sponsor of The Perth Amboy Harvest Festival 1st
Annual Duck Race, you will gain exposure and an incredible
marketing opportunity while also supporting our local
community and benefiting two local organizations and
helping us support children and families.
The promotions of this event will be very much a community
effort. We plan to approach all local schools to sell tickets
through their principals. We’re also anticipating that local
area elected officials will be placing information about this
event on their websites and in all correspondence.
Ticket sales are going to be handled by a multitude of
volunteers, and via the web. We will be securing marketing
and publicity efforts for this program, and there will be an
official website for the event.
Together, we will take part in an extraordinary and memorable
experience.

About Temple Beth Mordecai:
From our beginnings in 1895 to today, Congregation Beth Mordecai
has served a diverse Jewish population drawing from Perth Amboy,
suburban Middlesex County, and as far away as New York City. Beth
Mordecai is in a historic synagogue that opened it’s current building
in 1926. Its finest art deco features have been preserved, from
exquisite stained glass windows to original woods. However, the
congregation is neither stodgy nor aloof. A sense of warmth
pervades the sanctuary and everyone feels accepted, including
interfaith families.
