Lion of Judah
Minimum individual woman’s gift of $5,000 to Federation’s Annual Campaign
Roar with pride by becoming part of our powerful sisterhood of philanthropy and involvement. Join South Palm Beach County’s “Lions of Judah” community, one of the largest and most prestigious in the country.
With one of the largest number of ‘Lions’ in the nation, our Lion of Judah program attracts active women who are passionate about helping others and wish to be part of something extraordinary. An annual woman’s gift of $5,000 or more to the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County’s Annual Campaign opens the door to exclusive opportunities and events such the annual Lion of Judah Luncheon and the International Lion of Judah Conference. Once a Lion, you can choose to wear the internationally recognized Lion pin, which represents sisterhood and connectedness, philanthropy and power, Jewish values and social action. As a Lion, you have a unique opportunity to become intimately involved with your philanthropy, helping to influence the global agenda through a myriad of programs, events, gatherings, advocacy and leadership opportunities.
