Laniado Annual Dinner 2009
29th November 2009
Our third annual dinner has been a roaring success! Over 300 honoured guests enjoyed an evening of excitement and inspiration themed, "The Future of Fundraising." Dinner co-chairmen: Daniel Kattan and Laurent Zmiro.
With an unexpected and refreshing start to the dinner, The Drum Cafe engaged every guest to participate in a drumming activity together. The Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks opened the dinner by proclaiming "Here is something you didn't expect!" He then inspired the audience by recounting the awesome history of the founder of Laniado Hospital, Rabbi YY Halberstam, ztk'l. Paying honour to Zalman Noe, who accompanied the Rebbe throughout the Holocaust and contributed to his survival, Lord Sacks encouraged everyone to follow the founder's example of overcoming adversity in all circumstances.
An emotional appeal delivered by Laura Norton and Stephen Dunn highlighted every aspect of Laniado Hospital's uniqueness including the UK Charity's undisputed success in attracting, recruiting and engaging the younger generation to be involved in charity and raise significant funds.
The evening ended on a high with an auction by Mr Edward Rising, in association with Sotheby's and a performance by Funkstylerz.
