Events and Celebrations Birthright Israel Foundation supporters came together in their communities around the country this year for more than 35 events that raised over $8 million towards our annual campaign. Here is an inside look into some of our 2016 events!
March We kicked off our 2016 event season in Palm Beach, Florida. Hosted by Sydell Miller, Palm Beach County supporters joined with Canadian snowbirds at La Reverie for an evening to support Birthright Israel Foundation and Birthright Israel Foundation of Canada. Guests had the pleasure of hearing from Birthright Israel co-founder, Charles Bronfman; Birthright Israel tour educator, Rachel Smith-Savaya; and Birthright Israel Accessibility/Special Needs trip alumnus, Josh Tober.
april We hosted our second Birthright Israel Forum immediately following the JFN International Conference in La Jolla, California. The forum was open to foundation professionals from our current institutional donors and other professionals who were interested in learning more about the Birthright Israel program from a more intimate perspective. We were excited to have Birthright Israel leadership including International CEO, Gidi Mark; International VP of Education, Dr. Zohar Raviv; and Executive Director, Liz Sokolsky join us.
