Myra Farr Volunteer Service Award

This award was established in 1980 to honor Myra Farr z”l for her many years of local service and untiring devotion to the Greater Miami Section and the National organization. This award is to be given to a person: who has been instrumental in changing the lives of others through leadership efforts and services in the GMS of NCJW; who is known for her interest, activity, and involvement on the vital issues with which NCJW is in sympathy; and who has helped to change and expand the role of other people in vital areas of NCJW concerns for at least five years, as a Greater Miami Section member.

In 1999, Myra’s longtime friend John Grossman provided the Greater Miami Section with an endowment to continue this award for the next 20 years. This generous gift was made in memory of John’s wife and Myra’s lifelong friend, Jean, and in recognition of Myra’s outstanding leadership and inspiration for several generations of NCJW volunteers.
