Baltimore Jewish Hall of Fame

This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at the Gordon Center for Performing Arts, and is chaired by Katie Applefeld and Maury Garten.

In addition to recognizing the achievements of our honorees, the event also raises money for financial assistance for children and families to participate in JCC programs including Stoler Early Learning Center, abilities & inclusion programming, J Camps, JCC Maccabi, and membership. Our goal is to never turn away any child or teen because of a family’s financial constraints.

If you are unable to attend the Baltimore Jewish Hall of Fame event, please consider a tax-deductible donation.

The JCC is proud to be a part of The Associated Network which provides funding and promotional support services to our agency.
