AJC stands as the preeminent global advocate for the Jewish people, championing a world where extremism finds no refuge, human rights are upheld, and democratic values flourish. Collaborating with leaders from all walks of life, AJC remains steadfast in its commitment to leverage its global prowess for local impact, as well as advancing the shared principles and priorities that bind Jews and their allies.
In the wake of Hamas’ vicious October 7 attack and the unprecedented rise in antisemitism, AJC has elevated the resolve of its diverse network to counter these malicious forces looking to gain traction throughout our communities. Our friends understand this existential threat and know this is a time to affirm their support for AJC and its impactful work.
Julie and Steve have been a force of nature in their community. Upon arriving in Cincinnati, they immediately plunged into community service, joining the AJC board during a significant family milestone— the birth of their first son. Over three decades, their leadership has graced organizations such as the United Way, Last Mile Food Rescue, Talbert House, Jewish Federation, Teach for America, the Playhouse, Cincinnati Ballet, and many more, each time leaving an indelible mark of progress and innovation.
Sarah and Tim’s unwavering dedication to social impact shines brightly through their tireless efforts uplifting organizations such as the Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Cancer Advisors and the CRBC. We also commend their remarkable leadership and achievements in the educational space and Catholic community through their service to McNicholas High School, St. Ursula Academy, Educate NKY, and Idea Public Schools. We recognize the profound significance of this juncture in history for the Jewish community and acknowledge Tim and Sarah’s heartfelt support during these moments.
