Samuel Rudin (1896- 1975)
THE ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHON • NOVEMBER 6, 2011 An avid long distance runner and civic leader, Samuel Rudin rose from humble beginnings on New
York’s Lower East Side to become one of New York’s major builders and owners of real estate.
Rudin joined the Pastime Athletic Club in the Bronx in 1917 while a student at City College and
competed in long distance races as a member of the club through 1923. In 1925, he founded the
Rudin Management Company, a real estate firm which presently owns and manages 22 multi-story
apartment houses and 16 office buildings in Manhattan. Samuel Rudin was actively involved with
many charitable organizations in New York City, including the United Jewish Appeal, Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies, City College Fund and the Boy Scouts of America. In 1967, he was awarded
an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by Iona College in New Rochelle, New York. Today the Rudin
Family continues to play a major philanthropic role in New York City.
