“Without the hard work of the Mitzvah Society members assisting your clients to make legacy gifts to the foundation, we would not be here today,” Drowos said.
Support for the Mitzvah Society impacts efforts across the Federation.
“Whether it be a grant to help students with their academic expenses or one of the many annual campaign endowments, including Pace and Endowed Lion gifts that ensure our future, the advice and guidance that you give to your clients help make all of this happen,” Drowos said.
