In Loving memory of Jay Levins

Jay Levins Scholarship

Jay Levins was a Leader, a Coach, a Mentor, and a Force to be reckoned with. Jay enjoyed a multi-faceted career, beginning with his position as CEO of a multi-unit regional Department Store chain. In 1994, Jay followed his dream to Colorado, where he made owning ski shops his reality. By 1997, Jay along with Cousin’s Glenn and Gary Levins Co-Founded the Phoenix Organization. This dream team managed 300,000 Sq FT of commercial real estate space, as well as opening their first Two Burger King locations in NY and FL.

Jay’s love was for business, but his passion was community involvement. Jay was instrumental in bringing the Police Athletic League Youth Lacrosse program to Suffolk County Long Island. He sat on the board as the President of The Suffolk Y JCC, as well as The Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. With unbridled energy, and a sparkle in his eyes, Jay committed himself to his philanthropic endeavors. He believed in the importance of education, and supporting those individuals who worked hard to advance themselves and invest in their future.

Jay’s daughter Rachel is very proud to carry on his legacy and celebrate deserving Scholars in Jay’s honor.
