Honoring her successful and philanthropic father, George Rothman (who regularly swam miles each day well into his 80s), Doris Rothman Browning of Tequesta and Carson City, Nev., has given $1 million to construct the Mandel JCC aquatics center in Palm Beach Gardens in her father’s name. The George Rothman Aquatics Center will include a learn-to-swim area, spray ground, beachfront entrance, a 75-foot four-lane lap pool a concession area with space for community events and a boundless playground for children with special needs. The Mandel JCC is scheduled to open in August.
Rothman was well known for his business success, and even more for his generosity. Locally his name can be seen at the Temple Emanu-El lobby in Palm Beach and The Rothman Center for Advanced Ambulatory Care at JFK Hospital in Atlantis. Rothman lived in Manalapan for 18 years.
