Who We Are
Wendy Kleinman
Wendy Kleinman has been volunteering on JCCA’s Pleasantville Cottage Campus for more than 10 years. For Wendy, volunteering is a family affair since her husband and youngest teen also participate in lunch bunches, as did her older children throughout middle and high school. Wendy also helped mentor two teens on our campus. Over the years, Wendy has been involved in various charities and has spent the majority of her efforts on fundraising and marketing.
As a board member and co-President of The Children’s Hope Chest, a local Westchester non-profit, she created various programs to help raise needed money and in-kind donations for children in need. In 2009, she created the first annual Mah Jongg Invitational to raise money and awareness for Gilda’s Club of Westchester in memory of her mother and helped raise more than $1million. Wendy was a Vice President at Ogilvy Public Relations and is an alumnus of the University of Maryland. Wendy has been a member of JCCA’s Board of Trustees since 2020 and is currently the chair of our Fund Development Committee and one of the Co-Chairs of the Campus Renewal Campaign.
