For 38 years Gary and Laurie Bargebuhr have called Greensboro home. Gary became involved with GJF in 2015 by participating in the allocations committee and a mission trip to Israel soon after. For the past five years, he has also been a trustee to the board.
"Working side by side with the Federation and friends old and new has been so very gratifying!” As 2024 Campaign Co-Chair, Gary is looking forward to continuing his work as he meets with members of the community.
BUILDING, SUSTAINING & SECURING OUR JEWISH COMMUNITY.
WOMEN'S PHILANTHROPY
Women’s Philanthropy and the Lion of Judah program play an important role at the Greensboro Jewish Federation. Greensboro’s Lion of Judah program was initiated during a 1983 national UJA/Federation Women’s Mission to Prague and Israel. Many of the Greensboro women on that journey pledged $5,000 each, thus spearheading Greensboro’s involvement in the national Federation Lion of Judah “sisterhood.” Since that time, the program has since grown to over 50 proud Lions, active in many facets of philanthropy at the Federation.
