The Jewish
Board of Family and Children’s Services (The
Jewish Board), New York State’s largest human services
nonprofit, honored longtimesupporters Erica Schwartz, Emily Steinman and Fred
& Ann Yerman at
the organization’s 2016 Spring
Gala on Thursday,
April 7, 2016, at The
Plaza Hotel.
The event attractedmore than 350 guests and raised more than
$1 million for The Jewish Board. “The
Jewish Board thrives because of the commitment of
individuals like those we honored on April 7,” said David
Rivel, Chief Executive Officer of
The Jewish Board. “Without their support and leadership, a
year like the last, during which we successfully absorbed
$75 million in new programs from FEGS, would not have been
possible.”
At the Spring Gala, board president Alice
Tisch presented Ms. Schwartz with the Saul
Z. Cohen Leadership Award in
recognition of her outstanding board leadership in the areas
of governance and fundraising. A Jewish Board trustee since
2005, she is Vice-Chair of the Governance/Nominating
Committee and was until recently Chair of the Early
Childhood Committee, on which she still serves. Under her
stewardship, the popular Ladies’ Night
Out event has raised more than $500,000 for The Jewish
Board’s early childhood programs. Mrs.
Tisch presented Fred
and Ann Yerman and their daughter Emily Steinman
with the Madeleine
Borg Lifetime Service Award.
A former President and the current Honorary President of The
Jewish Board, Mr. Yerman is a longtime trustee who joined
the board in 1981.
Ann Yerman is a trustee of Westchester
Jewish Community Services, a sister agency, and
the couple is active in UJA-Federation. The Yermans’
daughter Emily Steinman has continued the family tradition
of smart, committed and thoughtful philanthropy by serving
as a trustee of The Jewish Board and as Co-Chair of its
Government Relations Committee. Saul
Z. Cohen, for whom the Saul Z. Cohen Leadership Award is
named, was President of the Jewish Board of Guardians and
instrumental in helping the organization merge with Jewish
Family Service to form the present-day Jewish Board of
Family and Children’s Services (The Jewish Board).
Madeleine
Borg, for whom the Madeleine Borg Lifetime Service Award is
named, was a lifelong advocate for children and for greater
access to mental health services. She served as President of
what is now The Jewish Board from 1942 to 1952, was an early
organizer and leader of the Jewish Federation, and founded
America’s Big Sister movement. For
more than 140 years, the Jewish
Board of Family and Children’s Services (The
Jewish Board) has been helping New Yorkers realize their
potential and live as independently as possible. We promote
resilience and recovery by addressing all aspects of an
individual’s life, including mental and physical health,
family, employment and education. Across the five boroughs
and in Westchester, we serve more than 43,000 New Yorkers
from all religious, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds
each year. For more information, please visit www.jbfcs.org. |
