Meir Medical to honour premier at 2015 gala

TORONTO — The last time supporters of the Meir Medical Center in Israel got together at gala dinners, they raised $2.5 million for the Kfar Saba-based regional hospital.

This time, an estimated 500 guests are expected at a fundraising dinner in October 2015 and the target being set in the campaign is $1 million, said Arie Raif, vice-chair and CEO of Canadian Friends of Meir Medical Center.
