In 2004, the late Phil Sokolof left a bequest to create the Phil & Ruth Sokolof Honor Roll Fund and the Karen Sokolof Javitch Music Appreciation Fund. These funds provide for the Phil & Ruth Sokolof Honor Roll Merit Scholarships and the Karen Sokolof Javitch Music Fund Scholarships to honor exceptional students and teachers. Recipients of these awards epitomize the scholarship criteria of achievement, scholastic performance, community service, and overall good character. Each year, the applicants are stellar.
The Foundation will host a reception for the award recipients and their families on Thursday, May 15th at 7:00 PM in the Shirley and Leonard Goldstein Community Engagement Venue at the Staenberg Omaha Jewish Community Center.
Contact Diane Walker at (402) 334-6551 or dwalker@jewishomaha.org with any questions.
