Bruce Whizin Memorial Fund

The Bruce Whizin Memorial Fund was established to celebrate and honor the life of Bruce and continue his legacy – he left this world better than he found it. He supported many communal institutions including Adat Ari El, the American Jewish University, Camp Ramah, and the Jewish Community Foundation his whole life. Contributions made to the Fund will help support the care of those suffering from dementia, as well as the Jewish Community Foundation, where he served as an Advisory Board member for many years.



Thank you for helping us ensure Bruce’s legacy of kindness and generosity.

Much love and gratitude,

The Bruce Whizin Family




Bruce leaves behind his sons, David, Brad (z"I), Gary (Alicia Garcia), Adam (Kate Maloney); and his daughter, Sarah (Mike) Schultz and his dear, former wife Shelley Whizin; beloved friend and former partner of 18 years, Leslie Lopata. His greatest treasures were his grandchildren: Akbar, Nate, Amber, Hana, Ralph, George, Cameron, Killian, Melia, Jordyn, Jake, & Zoe.
