HONOR JUDI KOVACH:
Through Judi’s 20+ years of experience in the business world and dedication to a number of non-profit organizations in our community, she has made a difference in the lives of thousands. After volunteering with a community effort, Little Free Libraries, which puts kiosks in inner city neighborhoods where people are encouraged to “take a book, leave a book,” she and her Cleveland colleague Judy Payne, had a bigger vision. The Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank was established in 2016, and in its first year of operation, it raised almost $200,000, recruited 4,000 volunteers to sort donated books and formed distribution partnerships with 700 organizations. Today, the Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank has distributed more than 1 million children’s books to those in need under Judi’s leadership as Co-Founder/Chair.

THE IRENE ZEHMAN VOLUNTEER AWARD recognizes a woman, group of women, or a women’s organization whose efforts on behalf of the Cleveland Jewish community demonstrate the highest ideals and practices of volunteer service. The award was established in 1980 by Roslyn Z. Wolf and Judith Z. Sherman, both of blessed memory, in loving memory of their mother, Irene Zehman, who personified the attributes this award celebrates.

Event Chairs: Sheila Margolis, Shelby Siegal, and Tamar Poupko Smith
