Making a Tribute

Making a tribute is a thoughtful way to celebrate a friend, family member, teacher, milestone, or special occasion. A tribute gift is also a heartfelt way to acknowledge the passing of a loved one. We will send a card to the person you are honoring, or to the family of the person being remembered, letting them know of your thoughtfulness and generosity. A list of all tributes will be published in the next Jewish Long Beach Chronicle, as well as listed on our website. July/August issue tributes are due by June 6, 2024.

Tributes can be directed to support Jessie Butler Senior Meals, Campus Security, financial aid for our Early Childcare Education center, Camp Komaroff scholarships, JCC Maccabi Games, Jewish Life & Culture programs, capital improvement projects, and your favorite program!

Tributes can be made directly on our website at www.jewishlongbeach.org and by contacting Yolanda Placencio at 562-426-7601 extension 1214 or by email at yplacencio@jewishlongbeach.org
