Tzedakah ("righteousness"/charity) is an important aspect of a Jewish wedding and we feel that it is a meaningful way to honor the memory of our ancestors and loved ones, like Sarah's mom Deb Dauer Z"L, who made this value a huge part of her life.

On top of our own donation, we are appealing to all guests to generously give (any amount! even $5/the cost of a coffee!) to one or both of the organizations below if they are able:

Our close friend Alex Klein's sister Allie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in May 2015 and has been in remission for almost 10 years. The Roberts Dauer fund can be found in our "registry" tab or by clicking here. We will be donating when fundraising opens, shortly after the wedding. Let's help The Acute Lymphomaniacs reach their milestone goal this year!

Founded in 2002, TLC has grown into the largest trans-specific, trans-led organization in the United States. They advocate and set precedent in areas including employment, prison conditions, education, immigration, and healthcare to protect and advance the rights of trans and gender nonconforming people across the country.
