Sharon Fraiman always brings some unique performers to every gala and this year is no exception. Israeli Mentalist Nevo Abutbul, touted as the youngest mentalist in the world, will demonstrate his unique talents in a most entertaining way. The Gala will also feature a very special performance by pianist Dr. Thomas Yu.
An important part of the Gala will be updating guests on the situation on the ground in Israel and guests will get the latest from Keynote speaker Uri Shacham, MDA’s Deputy Director and Chief of Staff, and MDA’s liaison to the Red Cross/Red Crescent.
Tickets for the Gala which features a Kosher reception and dinner cost $180 and there are also several sponsorship opportunities. “Every year the community shows its support for CMDA with hundreds attending our gala, but the need in Israel has never been greater,” says Sharon Fraiman, adding, “MDA volunteers and staff continue to put their lives on the line insuring emergency medical services are just minutes away for every Israeli. Our support helps by providing the ambulances, medi-scooters, and medical equipment so the pros can do their jobs.”
