Friends and family keeping Beth’s memory alive
The Elizabeth L. Joksimovic Memorial Foundation, or Beth’s Fund, was established in 2006 in loving memory of Beth, a loving mother and wife and life-long philanthropist.
Beth was with us from 1962-2006 when she passed from gastric cancer.
Beth was passionate about: advancement in healthcare, women in the workforce and education. She was extremely passionate about her philanthropic career at Rush Medical Center.
Throughout the existence of the foundation, there have been fundraisers that support a number of charities and organizations.
As the foundation continues to grow and evolve and as Beth’s children become more involved, there will be additional areas of focus including funding for gastrointestinal cancer research.
