2013 Guardian Campaign The 55th Guardian Campaign kicks off on September 12 under the leadership of Chairs David Samuels and Alan Freeman. Since 1958, donors to the Guardian Campaign have ensured that the Hebrew Home is able to fulfill its promise to care for our community’s elders. Contributions to this annual campaign help us bridge the funding gap created by lagging Medicaid reimbursement and enable the Home to give our residents precisely what they deserve – high quality, compassionate nursing, rehabilitative, and medical care in a community that honors their Jewish faith and traditions. We will be thanking Guardian donors of $500 or more at Starlight on Thursday evening, December 12 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel. This event will honor Sandy and Stanley Bobb and Mildred Hofberg, of blessed memory, with the Guardian Leadership Award for their leadership and generosity. The beautiful garden pavilion at Ring House bears the Hofberg name. Starlight will be chaired by the Bobbs’ children: Beth and Daryle Bobb, Jodi and Rodd Macklin, and Sandy and Stanley Bobb Tammy and Cliff Mendelson. For more information please call 301.770.8329. You can make your Guardian Campaign gift at www.hebrew-home.org/2013Guardian.
