Established by the Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center in 2016, the William S. Levine Family Community Excellence Award honors individuals who exemplify the extraordinary philanthropic spirit and community commitment demonstrated by the Levine Family, one of Arizona’s most generous philanthropic families.

This prestigious award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to strengthening our community through exceptional leadership, innovative vision, and dedicated service. Recipients embody the values of tzedakah (charitable giving) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) that are fundamental to the Levine Family’s legacy.

Honorees of this award demonstrate:

• A sustained commitment to improving the quality of life in our community
• Leadership that inspires others to engage in philanthropic endeavors
• Innovation in addressing community challenges
• A passion for building a more just, compassionate, and thriving Jewish community

The William S. Levine Family Community Excellence Award celebrates those who, like its namesake, understand that true community excellence comes from working together to create positive, lasting change for generations to come.
