RCCS Begins Chain Of Events In Lawrence

The Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society held its first event in their Chain of Events campaign, the annual Lawrence breakfast at the home of Motty and Hadassa Jacobowitz on Sunday, May 13,

The Jacobowitzes, in their selfless and giving nature, once again opened their home to the Lawrence community in support of the Five Towns patients of RCCS. The event was a true kiddush Hashem as throngs of people, including many of the local rabbanim, came out in support of this special mosad.

The event featured a lavish and grand breakfast buffet. Additionally, music superstar Eli Levin entertained the crowd with soulful melodies and some of his own compositions. Towards the end of the event, the attendees gathered around for an emotional kumtzits that soon erupted into spontaneous joyful dancing. It was truly a beautiful event for a great cause.

What made the event exceptional was the fact that attendees were able to meet with members of their community who had been helped by RCCS. They learned about the caring and compassionate nature of RCCS and how this amazing organization performs lifesaving miracles throughout the global Jewish community.

RCCS currently services over 2,300 patients throughout the world with a budget of almost $9 million, over $220,000 expended in the Five Towns alone. The goal of the Chain of Events campaign is to not only bring in much needed funds to this great organization, but also to provide awareness to the community of the available services that RCCS provides.
