JFS is pleased to present the Golub Family with the 2014 Anschel Weiss Community Builders Award. They will be honored at our 160th Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at miSci in Schenectady.
JFS and the Golub Family (Neil & Jane, Jerel & Geraldine, David & Andrea and Mona & Marie) share the same long-standing tradition of supporting Capital Region families. Their generous support of not-for-profit organizations embodies the spirit of this award—Serving Humanity with Humility.
“Going back to the days of our grandfather, pre-1930, there was always a strong incentive to help others and do for the less fortunate,” said Neil Golub. And giving back is in their DNA. “Helping the community is instinctive and often the result of organizations reaching out for assistance. Sharing with the community, whether corporate or personal, or giving time and effort has always been part of our makeup,” added Golub.
The Golubs are also supporters of miSci in Schenectady, and holding this year’s celebration at that venue is a perfect and unique setting for connecting with friends and colleagues, enjoying an array of delicious food and supporting the vital services JFS provides for individuals and families in the community.
“We are honored that the Golubs are celebrating our rich heritage of helping those in need,” said JFS Executive Director Christine Holle. “It seems natural to honor a family that whose legacy is about giving, especially at this time in the agency’s history.”
