Thank you to the family of Bob and Ann Regnier for your $150,000 donation to JFS!

The Regnier family – including Bob and Ann Regnier, Victor A. Regnier, Cathy Regnier, Jon, Kate, Charlotte and Abe Bender – recently made a $150,000 gift to JFS in honor of their parents Vic and Helen Regnier. The gift was made to JFS on the occasion of its 120th anniversary. The Regniers are part of the JFS 120th Anniversary families helping the agency celebrate this milestone.

“I was impressed that JFS was a social service agency that helps anyone and everyone who is in need,” Bob Regnier said. “I was also impressed that JFS was early in identifying mental health as a critical health need. The organization, I believe, is well focused and offers needed services and does so in a cost-efficient manner without significant overlap with other social service agencies.”

Save the Date for the August 24th JFS 120th Anniversary Celebration to celebrate with our Honorary Families, including the Regnier family.
