The LifeBridge Health Center for Hope building was named the Jill Fox Center for Hope to honor the memory of Jill Fox, a 19-year old college student who died from an unexpected illness in 1960. This is made possible by two significant gifts given to Center for Hope – one from the Jill Fox Memorial Fund, Inc., a supporting foundation of The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, Inc. and the other is an Endowment Gift generously given by Jill’s family, Shirley F. Scholder, Karen L. Scholder, Susan Scholder Smith and David M. Scholder, in memory of Jill and Shirley’s parents Lou and Dorothy Fox. The Endowment Gift will establish the Dorothy N. and Louis J. Fox Client Assistance Endowment Fund to provide therapeutic mental health services, support groups, critical basic living needs and program supplies for Center for Hope survivors of violence and clients.
“We are grateful to Jill’s family for believing in the work that we do at Center for Hope and for honoring her memory and her parents’ memory with these two significant gifts,” said Adam Rosenberg, LifeBridge Health vice president of Violence Intervention and Prevention and executive director of Center for Hope. “For more than 60 years, Jill’s memory has served as a blessing not only to her family but to the thousands of individuals who have been the recipients of grants from the Fox Memorial Fund. Her legacy will continue to live through the families that benefit from this generosity.”
The Jill Fox Center for Hope is much more than a building; it will provide spaces and vital resources so children and families can focus on their health and well-being with the support of a dedicated team of health system professionals who can oversee trauma response programming that ranges from children to seniors.
