William H. Helfandz"l

Jessica Helfand shares reflections of her father, William, at the annual Legacy Society and Remembrance Event last fall.

As Jews, we believe it is our responsibility to care for one another. Mr. Helfand lived this value, creating an estate plan with a $100,000+ bequest to the Jewish Community Foundation—becoming part of our Legacy Society. William spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry; curated a collection of quirky prints, posters, and memorabilia related to medical treatments; and was honored for his contributions to the history of medicine and pharmacy. Legacy donors like William ensure our vibrant Jewish future, providing resources to support the evolving needs of our community for generations to come—including during a crisis.
