The community’s response to our 2nd Annual Mensches & Mimosas community-wide celebration of mensches has been astounding! We honored 23 men and women who selflessly give their time, their passions, and their hard work throughout our community.
As part of this celebration, Herman Ungerman received the Anschel Weiss Community Builders Award for his commitment to serving humanity with humility and for acting as a role model for future generations. This is evident by his loving family, who continue to carry on the legacy of philanthropy.
