Laugh on Their Behalf 9 JFCS Friends of the Family Award The Candice and Charles Nadler Family will be honored with the JFCS Friends of the Family Award at the 27th Annual Benefit. JFCS has been a fortunate recipient of the Nadlers’ generosity, time and wisdom for many years. In addition to financial support, Candice and Chuck have given much more to the organization. Candice has been a staff member and both have been dedicated volunteers. Daugher Emma serves on the JFCS staff today. The art piece that will be presented to the Nadlers at the Annual Benefit was commissioned by artist Lia Harel, 15, a “Big” in JFCS’ Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister Program.
