CELEBRATION 2024: CONSTELLATIONS
We loved having your brilliant and positive energy illuminating on March 7, at Celebration 2024: Constellations. We hope our dedication to serving as a bright light for modern and diverse Jewish life in San Francisco radiated throughout the evening. We thank Mayor London Breed and Senator Scott Wiener for coming to show their support.
A tremendous and heartfelt thank you to our event co-chairs, Katherine Pier & Greg Geronemus and Trisha & Greg Sherman. We appreciate all our generous participants, host committee, honorary host committee, sponsors and supporting foundations. Because of you, we raised over $245,000 through our Fund a Need program to support the JCCSF’s Jewish Peoplehood programs, youth and family programs, and growing community partnerships!
We missed those of you who were unable to join, but it’s not too late to participate in fundraising efforts to support our community. Here’s an opportunity for you to show your support now by donating to JCCSF’s At the Heart of it All campaign.
OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
In March 2023, our Board of Directors completed a strategic visioning and planning process that will guide the JCCSF through its next years of innovative programming, thoughtful community building and successful, sustainable growth. We’re excited to share the details with you.

Donor spotlight
The JCCSF has been part of Alex Austen’s life since age 29, when Alex worked at the Front Desk while attending law school. Alex remarks that the JCCSF has benefitted their entire family, from teen programs for son, Amir, to holiday celebrations such as Tashlich on the Beach. 'Our family has made a lifetime of friends at the JCCSF!'

We love our donors & volunteers
“We are very committed to fostering community and have found Helen Diller Family Preschool (and the larger JCCSF) to be a true center of our community and sense of belonging. Participating in Parent Council has allowed us to be active in our children’s daily lives at school, connect with families across the classrooms and help shape the community and relationships that make this place special.” – Jen Peck and Debbie Tuttle, 2020-21 Parent Council Co-Presidents
