Irving W. Jacobson was a well-known philanthropist in the Worcester Jewish community and active in many local organizations. At the time of his death in 1975, he was the treasurer of JFS, where he had been active for more than 20 years. A gift from his family established a living memorial to Mr. Jacobson in this annual educational program for mental-health professionals. CEUs are provided for many disciplines.
