Making the Holidays Brighter

POSTED: JANUARY 2012

UJA-Federation of New York’s Harrison/Purchase Community made the Holidays brighter for kids at the Henry Ittleson Center. The Ittleson Center is a Bronx-based residential treatment center and school run by the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services (JBFCS), a UJA-Federation beneficiary agency, which helps children ages 5 to 13 who have emotional disabilities or have experienced trauma.

The event, which took place on December 11th, was part of the Gift of Chanukah, a program during which UJA-Federation communities in Westchester share the holiday spirit by collecting and distributing gifts and celebrating at parties with agency clients. Guests brought gift cards to Target that were distributed to the kids as holiday gifts. The event was chaired by Sue Pearson and Ilysa Rosmarin of Purchase and Jennifer Fischer, Jennifer Goldfarb, and Ilissa Siegel of Scarsdale.
