For nearly 40 years Gary and Laurie Bargebuhr have called Greensboro home. Gary has served on the allocations committee, been a trustee to the board, and most recently co-chaired the 2024 Annual Campaign. This year, he will serve again – joined by his wife, Laurie. “As a couple we are embracing this new togetherness as an opportunity to work side by side in an organization that is important to us and to this community. We look forward to this journey and hope you will join us.”

WOMEN'S PHILANTHROPY
Greensboro’s Lion of Judah program began during a 1983 national UJA/Federation Women’s Mission to Prague and Israel. Inspired by this journey, many Greensboro women pledged $5,000 each, launching the city's involvement in the national Federation Lion of Judah “sisterhood.” Since then, the program has flourished, growing to over 90 proud Lions who are active in various philanthropic efforts at the Federation.
