Exciting news for our community! Two talented teens from the Carolinas have been elected to the BBYO International Board, showcasing the strength and positivity of Jewish youth leadership. Logan Reich, the incoming international Sh’aliach (VP of Judaism, Social Action, and Community Service) from Asheville, NC (second male from the left), and Abby Bluestein, the incoming international Morah (VP of Membership) from Charleston, SC (third female from the right), are shining examples of dedication and passion. The BBYO International Board is the executive leadership team of the global Jewish teen movement BBYO, responsible for overseeing and guiding the organization's activities and initiatives worldwide.

We are celebrating a decade of Atrium Health Mindy Ellen Levine Behavioral Health Center in Davidson, NC. This state-of-the-art facility was made possible from a $3 million gift from the Levine family and The Leon Levine Foundation. The center has been a pillar of support for the community, providing care to over 100,000 patients. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff whose dedication has touched countless lives over the past decade," remarked Tom Lawrence, President and CEO of The Leon Levine Foundation. "The care provided here is a testament to Mindy's enduring spirit and the transformative power of community support."

Leon Levine championed the Carolinas' nonprofit sector for decades. And so we honored his life in true TLLF fashion: by giving back and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region. Thank you for helping us "build" on our Founder's legacy in such a special way.

On April 5th, 2023, we lost a profound partner, colleague, and friend. One year later, we honor our Founder and everything that his life represented. To all those reflecting on Leon Levine's legacy today: may his memory be a blessing.
