Seymour and Sheila Herman Make a Splash
Through an extraordinary gift from Seymour (Sy) and Sheila Herman to the Centennial Capital Campaign, the new indoor aquatics center will bear their name and legacy. The aquatics area has been a special passion to the Hermans. While working at IBM in the 1970s, Sy routinely spent his lunch hour swimming laps at the JCCGW indoor pool, an activity that he is convinced has contributed to his good health and has added years to his life. In 1993, Sy and Sheila established the Seymour and Sheila Herman Aquatic Fitness Endowment Fund to help support aquatic fitness programs at the JCCGW in perpetuity. The Hermans are leaving a bequest to the JCCGW as part of their pledge commitment.
“We are creating a legacy at the JCCGW because there is no greater community organization in providing human kindness and caring for our community.” – Sheila and Sy Herman
The Flora M. Stetson Legacy Society
Flora M. Stetson loved the arts. As a volunteer at the JCCGW’s Goldman Art Gallery, Ms. Stetson’s passion for the arts merged with her joy in being part of the Center’s warm and welcoming community. Through a gift to the JCCGW in perpetuity, Ms. Stetson’s legacy will have tremendous impact for generations to come.
The Flora M. Stetson Society recognizes and honors individuals and families who, in their estate plans, have created a legacy for the Center through a bequest or other planned gift.
