JCC Buffalo has established the Gretchen S. Gross Memorial Endowment to support scholarships for camp and youth photography classes at the JCC in Gretchen’s name, forever.
Our success would not have been possible without the initial support of friends and family who contributed to these efforts. But the time is now to commit to helping the JCC increase its impact while cementing Gretchen’s legacy through the endowment. We have set a goal of $250,000 to ensure we can continue to provide and expand these incredible opportunities for our community in a way that will honor Gretchen for generations to come…..so join our Labor of Love.
