OUR HONOREE
Harold Ronson was born in Brooklyn in 1926, the youngest of four children. Harold and his siblings worked small jobs after school to help support their family. With his two older brothers and brother-in-law already stationed overseas, Harold wanted to enlist in the Armed Services during World War II. At just 17 years old, Ronson joined the Navy, and served in the amphibious forces at Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Philippines from 1944 to 1946.
In 2014, Philadelphia University, now Thomas Jefferson University, presented Harold with its ‘Leadership in Philanthropy’ award. In October 2020, they hosted a virtual ribbon cutting ceremony for the Kay and Harold Ronson Health and Applied Science Center. The Center was built smart for high-
tech, real-world Nexus Learning and for boundary-crossing research and innovation. The dedication ceremony included tributes to Ronson for his philanthropic leadership and his service as a Trustee, culminating in the presentation of the Graham J. Littlewood III Time, Talent, and Treasure Award.
Just last year, in his desire to create a safe haven for seniors, Ronson partnered with Claire and Hein Russ to create a $2 million endowment at The Senior Friendship Center in Sarasota.
As Temple Beth Israel enters its forty fifth year, we will honor Harold at our 45th Anniversary Annual Gala, for his generous efforts in supporting TBI’s Vision for the Future.
