A $300,000 gift, the largest ever made to a B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation, was announced at a dinner here tendered in honor of the trustees of the Harry K. and Emma R. Fox Charitable Foundation, donor of the gift. The money will be used to build a Harry K. and Emma R. Fox building for the Hillel Foundation on the campus of the Case-Western Reserve University.
The site was made available in the new University Religious Center. The building will be started later this year and is scheduled for completion in the spring of 1969.
