18th Annual Golf Tournament Dinner & Auction

What’s in a number? Well, when it comes to our annual golf tournament benefiting the Jewish Home, 2012 is a special year, heralding the 18th time we will be putting on this fabulous fundraising event.

As you may know, 18 is a significant number in Jewish culture. It corresponds to the Hebrew word for “life” – chai. And that is what the Jewish Home is all about: Adding years to life and life to the years of our residents.

This fundraising tradition brings together board members, corporate leaders, and major donors for a magnificent day on the green for the direct benefit of the older adults served by the Jewish Home of San Francisco.
