SPCC to Honor MD Podiatrist Philanthropist
Diane Lebedeff, DPM was brought up to give back to her community, always taught that “you give 100% or you don’t give at all.” Over the last quarter-century, she has given her best to the Severna Park Community Center (SPCC), whether that be time, treasure, or talent in various seasons. SPCC Executive Director Sarah Elder explained that in selecting gala honorees, the center looks for people who are not only active with the SPCC but also active in the community in other ways.

Elder cited an example of when the SPCC needed a new boiler, and Lebedeff raised $60,000 “overnight” to replace it. Lebedeff has spearheaded fundraising initiatives, served on the SPCC’s board of directors for more than 20 years, led many improvement projects around the facility and grounds, and more – all done quietly, out of a simple passion for helping others. Dr. Lebedeff's husband, Steve Gersh, DPM, is also a podiatrist.
