Gift of Life One Huge Night Gala
Posted by Noa Waks Rudman on 10/26/2022 @ 02:21 PM
Gift of Life’s annual One Huge Night Gala recognizes and honors the people that help Gift of Life save lives and accomplish all the remarkable things they do. Many award winners share personal stories that compelled them to get involved in the organization as a donor, recipient, supporter or volunteer. This year's honorees include Marissa Galbut, Dr. Brooke Owens and Liza Samuels.
The highlight of the evening is a first-time meeting between a blood stem cell donor and recipient. The experience of witnessing a stem cell donor meeting the person whose lives they saved is truly magical. This heartwarming meeting has been performed more than 450 times over the years.
In addition, Gift of Life celebrates its accomplishments over the past year and provides a glimpse of the company’s future plans and focus of getting everyone involved in curing blood cancer, inherited immune disorders and other diseases. Gift of Life continues to facilitate the latest medical advances to help save patients in need.
The Gala will be chaired by Mojdeh Khagan Danial, Robin Schwartz Jacobs, Debbie Kalimian and Carla Probus.
41st Annual Hebraica Maccabi Games
Posted by Noa Waks Rudman on 10/26/2022 @ 02:10 PM
Our Maccabi Games are entering another milestone…This year, we will be celebrating the 41st anniversary of our spectacular Games here in Miami.
From its beginnings with 200 athletes who were now calling America their home, the Games have morphed 10 times in numbers to become the largest annual Jewish athletic event of its kind in the United States.
Who would have thought back then that these Games would have continued from generation to generation–from its earliest participants planting the seeds for their children to nurture and grow…and now passing that legacy along for their children’s children to inherit.
For this special anniversary, we turn to you to lend your support as a 41 Annual Maccabi Games sponsor.
