Legacy gifts offer a way to make a meaningful gift that you may not be able to make during your lifetime. This gift shows your support and appreciation for the role the JCC has played in your life.
Legacy Circle members receive special recognition in our lobby, impact report, website and other materials, as well as invitations to exclusive events.

Broker: Charles Schwab
Name on Account: Bernard Osher Marin Jewish Com
Osher Marin JCC Account Number: 2114-6533
DTC Number: 1064
