HONORARY CO-CHAIR
Born and raised in New York, Barbara Gerber Fremont settled in Chicago where she and her husband Robert added three daughters to their family. Today, that family has grown to include seven grandchildren as well. Robert founded Halo Lighting in Chicago in 1956, and later Juno Lighting in 1976, and the success of both companies enabled Barbara and Bob to become philanthropic leaders of their community. They became active in such organizations as ORT, Jewish United Fund of Chicago, and Mt. Sinai Service Club. Their love of music is reflected in their long time support of the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic, and the Ravinia Music Festival. In 1979, Barbara and Bob began coming out to the desert for the winter, and in 1988 built their home in Rancho Mirage. They soon became active in the community here as well. Their philanthropy reflects a lifelong interest in the arts, and both Fremonts have served on the Board of the Palm Springs Friends of the Philharmonic. They have also been active supporters of Jewish Federation of the Desert, the McCallum Theatre, the Palm Spring Philharmonic, Coachella Valley Rep, the Literary Society, and of course, Jewish Family Service of the Desert. Bob passed away in 2012, but Barbara remains an active member of the community, and continues to support the many organizations to which they have dedicated themselves. She is delighted to share this evening with all of you, and thanks you for supporting Jewish Family Service of the Desert.
