About Zina Vladimirsky

About the Fund

• Goals:

  This fund was established by friends and family of Zina Vladimirsky to commemorate her life & to sponsor select Music & Performing Arts events conducted at the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center (Palo Alto, CA).  Zina was always very passionate about most things, and cultural events organized at the OFJCC by her husband Boris Vladimirsky played a major role in her life.  We felt that sponsoring such events in the future would be a good way to celebrate her life & to cherish her memory.  Our continuing support of the Fund makes it possible to bring more high quality performers to Schultz Cultural Hall. 
  
  

• Status:

  This Fund is maintained as a restricted account within the OFJCC.  The Fund is not used to cover any of the general operating expenses of the JCC but instead underwrites & co-sponsors select Performing Arts events.  All descriptions of and advertising materials for such performances include an acknowledgement of this Fund's role in making these events possible.  (A list of already sponsored & soon-to-be-sponsored events is included below.)  All donations contributed to the Fund are tax-deductible & will be used exclusively for the purposes listed above.
