Ariela and Gary Mars: Forever Pacesetters and Community Leaders

Forever committed to Jewish Miami, Ariela and Gary Mars have endowed their Annual Federation Campaign gift through The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, making them Forever Pacesetters. What began as a high school romance at Scheck Hillel Community School in North Miami Beach evolved for the couple into a lifelong devotion to Jewish life, shared purpose and an unwavering sense of responsibility. Ariela and Gary have contributed to Federation not only as generous donors but also as active community leaders and volunteers. Most recently, they used The Foundation’s Legacy Match Life Insurance Program to endow their gift and create a lasting legacy. As Gary reflects, “Miami is very special and it takes a lot to support it. We are happy to do our part.” Click here to read their story in the Book of Life.
