Lifelong Ties to BGU

here with fellow volunteers and Ben-Gurion, Fred later served on the national board of Americans for BGU. His generosity endures, as he continues to donate a fixed sum annually, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the University.

Longtime donor Fred Levinson, now 97, and his wife Marlene, from San Francisco, have been staunch supporters of BGU for over 40 years. In 1948, Fred volunteered to serve in the Haganah, even spending time with David Ben-Gurion. Pictured

The Ripple Effect of Giving

Our friends and supporters form a global family, bound together by a shared belief in education, research, and progress. Every contribution, whatever its form, shapes BGU's future. Giving makes you part of something greater, fueling knowledge, innovation, and opportunity in the Negev, Israel, and beyond. And, as these stories prove, sometimes all it takes is a little help from our friends.
