Successful Career Drives Commitment to Give Back

Ross Gerber has built a prosperous life and career.

As the co-founder, president, and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, Ross and his team oversee $2.2 billion in investments. He is also a regular media contributor, and his company is very popular on social media.

For Ross, philanthropy is incredibly important, and it is what drives him to work hard.

“My basic philosophy in life is if you want to be successful, it starts with giving back,” he says.

When he learned about Los Angeles Jewish Health’s Legacy Circle and the need for planned gifts, it was a no-brainer for him to purchase a life insurance policy to gift the organization.

Ross has lengthy ties to Los Angeles Jewish Health and believes philanthropy means giving your time and talents, too.

A Los Angeles native, he joined The Guardians, one of Los Angeles Jewish Health’s fundraising support groups, in 2003. He previously served as president of the group and credits meeting some of his best friends through his involvement with it.

“Los Angeles Jewish Health serves such an important function for the Jewish community because taking care of our elderly is a crucially important need,” Ross says. “It’s super important that we continue to focus on keeping the organization vibrant and growing.”

You, too, can create a legacy of giving that reflects your priorities and values. Learn more about giving life insurance to Los Angeles Jewish Health by contacting Aaron Levinson at (818) 757-4416 or aaron.levinson@jha.org.
