Celebrating Philanthropy on December 11, 2025, was an extraordinary celebration of our most generous donors and an opportunity to honor Richard A. Friedman, the 2025 Jeanne Levy Community Leadership Award recipient. We are delighted to share the digital Tribute Journal below filled with heartfelt messages from friends, family and community members, whose collective generosity reached $1 million.

Richard is a visionary leader and co-chair of the groundbreaking Palm Beach Center to Combat Antisemitism & Hatred. Together with his wife, Susan, he is helping to define a bold vision for our community’s future as Community Visionaries. We are grateful for the shared pride we feel in our community and look forward to celebrating together again at our next Celebrating Philanthropy event on December 10, 2026, at the Kravis Center, chaired by William A. Meyer.
