Jewish Women’s Foundation to Announce 2019 Grants at Cocktail Reception Honoring Alice Kemper
With Inspiring Speaker Barbara Greenspan Shaiman
Boca Raton, FL – The Jewish Women’s Foundation (JWF) of South Palm Beach County will host its 2019 Granting Wishes evening on Tuesday, March 12 at 5:30 p.m. Gathered at the beautiful Boca Rio Golf Club, 22041 Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton, their guests will be first to learn about JWF’s 2019 grant awards. They’ll also hear from noted educator, businesswoman and social entrepreneur, Barbara Greenspan Shaiman.
“We are proud to welcome all women from across the Jewish community to celebrate our 2018 grant awards,” said Miriam Atzmon, who is co-chairing the evening with Alana Hoch. “Like the JWF, our speaker has a powerful story, and is passionately dedicated to hands-on philanthropy and empowering others to create social change. We’ll also honor Alice Kemper for her extraordinary six years of strategic leadership as JWF Chair, and welcome Randee Rubenstein as rising Chair.”
“Our guests will further discover the deep rewards of being part of a like-minded group that helps so many through the grants we fund,” added Hoch. “Over fifteen years, our JWF members, called Trustees, have awarded more than $1.2 million to initiatives that help women and children achieve social and economic equality in our community and in Israel. These dollars are all donations from the JWF members, called Trustees, who together study and select the programs to fund. “We look forward to attracting more and younger women into our JWF as we turn our attention to the future with new approaches to our creative philanthropy.”
The Granting Wishes Reception also offers an array of hors d’oeuvres and stations, desserts and wine, with dietary laws observed. The couvert is $85 per person, and all are welcome. To register, visit jewishboca.org/grantingwishes or contact Susan Levine at 561.852.6034 or SusanL@bocafed.org.
