Peggy & John Garson

We were raised by families where tzedakah was a way of life. Both Frieda Yoelson and Red Garson taught us by their actions to be charitable. They set an example – we followed.

In this increasingly complex world, we want to transmit these values to our future generations. Our Supporting Foundation affords us an opportunity to share, with our children, these principles which have governed our lives and enabled us to help build a strong Jewish community. Together we can continue to strive to make the world a better place for all humankind.
