HONORING

Laurie & Neal Price
Irving B. Harris Leadership Award

We are thrilled to recognize Laurie and Neal Price for their significant commitment and contribution to promoting the well-being of people in the community. Laurie served as a JCFS board member for 12 years. She is the founder and owner of CDI Construction Group and oversaw several JCFS construction projects, including the Abe & Ida Cooper Center in West Rogers Park and the Seigle Campus in Skokie. Neal has been an active leader in the Jewish community for over 30 years, serving on the boards of JUF, JCC Chicago and Congregation B’nai Tikvah. He is co-founder of Strategic Wealth Partners.  The Prices live in Deerfield and have two sons and a daughter-in-law.

Cheryl Leon
What’s Possible Award

We are excited to honor Cheryl Leon, a prominent leader, philanthropist and changemaker. Cheryl has devoted her life to service, serving as the coordinator of Ezra Helpline, the basis for JCFS’s intake services. She then helped create a landmark program addressing the needs of sexually abused children in the Jewish community. This became Partnership for Safer Communities, a JCFS initiative to raise awareness about abuse prevention through education and training. Cheryl and her husband Bruce recently launched The Leon Legacy Fund to provide an avenue for all Jews to explore their rich heritage. They live in West Rogers Park near three of their four daughters and six grandsons.
