Thanks for update ! I will tell my son!
(Btw a friend of his once didn't get a prize from an organization so he just collected more and bought himself the prize with the Money. Not sure that's ok, esp cuz they prob get the prizes discounted. But I wonder if halachically that would be ok if the prize never comes)

I got a phone call from someone at Mishkan Yosef last night asking if my boys got their prizes yet. When I told him they didn't, he apologized and said it would be coming very soon.

I don't know anything about this organization, but my kids come home multiple times a year with prize brochures from a certain organization. They go straight into the garbage in our house. DH and I are vehemently against this method of using children to collect tzedaka in order to get a reward. That's no way to teach the true mitzvah of tzedaka. The organization is a worthwhile cause and we're happy to donate on our own terms but we abhor the coercive tactics.

Besides, who are they going to collect from? There's only so many times they can ask the extended family to donate. Every grandparent has other grandchildren also collecting and every aunt/uncle have their own kids who are collecting too. The tzedaka campaigns aren't even staggered at different schools so all the neighbors are knocking on doors collecting at the same time. It's ridiculous and so pressurizing! Some of the more entrepreneurial kids set up lemonade stands and bake sales outside their homes to raise the money. That I don't mind so much because it's not directly asking for money over and over and over again.

To clarify, the original Purim Project with Zichron Shlome, helps sick children and families dealing with cancer rl.

On their 15th year of the project they are known for sending prizes promptly and ensuring all kids are happy.

Mishkan Yosef is trying to imitate the campaign but aren’t having much success with prize fulfillment. MIshkan Yosef email address is mypurimproject@gmail.com.

The Purim Project with Zichron Shlomo’s email is purimproject@refuahfund.org.

We sent in a check to the prize catalog for Mishkan Yosef this year and are still waiting to hear back. It was over a month ago that we dropped
Off
The check. We don’t know how to reach anyone to get the prize. Does anyone have any updated info? The email That was posted here from last year had a reply
That it’s Not a valid Email.
