Women’s Philanthropy Director Ofi Osin-Cohen Shares Her Experience

The tragedy in Surfside has deeply and personally impacted our family at Federation. Our cherished colleague, Women’s Philanthropy Director Ofi Osin-Cohen, lived with her husband Barry in the Champlain Towers South building. Thankfully, Ofi and Barry are safe. She provided a powerful and moving interview on Thursday’s Today Show, which detailed the harrowing events. Feeling blessed, Ofi is grateful for the first responders who rescued those in the building and the good wishes she has received from near and far. To watch Ofi’s story, click here.
