Parker Jewish Institute Foundation Hosts Gala Fundraiser

Parker Jewish Institute Foundation hosted its annual gala on Thursday, October 24, 2019, at Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Corona, New York.

The event is one of two major fundraisers, including a golf classic, which was held earlier this year. Proceeds from these premier events enhance the multifaceted network of programs and services for Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation patients and residents, as well as its community programs.

This year’s gala honoree was Robert Slinin, the Senior Vice President of Corporate Transportation Group. Eduard Slinin, the President and CEO of Corporate Transportation Group, served as this year’s gala chairman.

“We are grateful for the support of the entire Parker community and extend a heartfelt thank you to Robert Slinin as honoree, and to Eduard Slinin as gala chairman,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s President and CEO. “It is their kindness and generosity that helps Parker Jewish Institute provide superior services and care, with compassion and dedication, for the region’s older adults.”

The elegant evening featured live music by the popular country band, Barnstar!, a lavish sit-down dinner and an awards ceremony.

Since its inception in 1907 as a shelter for 25 indigent men and women, Parker Jewish Institute evolved into a nationally renowned 527-bed, non-profit center for the health care and rehabilitation of older adults, offering a comprehensive network of community health care programs. The Institute is a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals.
