Empowering NYC youth since 1884.
In Memory of Steven Salomon Elbaum
Steven Elbaum joined the Madison Board in March 2019 serving on the Brooklyn Advisory Board, on the Board of Directors (2019-2025) and most recently as Chairman of the Board (2023-2025). His impact on our organization was profound, setting a standard of excellence and compassion that will forever be woven into the fabric of our institution.
Alongside his wife, sister, and brother-in-law, Steven co-founded the Elbaum Family Clubhouse, aimed at providing support for youth in Brownsville, Brooklyn—his childhood neighborhood. The Elbaum Family Clubhouse is a testament to Steven’s commitment to helping others and ensuring that the next generation had opportunities to succeed.
