September 6, 2024 – Miami, Florida; Tel Aviv, Israel – The Genesis Business Humanity Club, in collaboration with the Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation, is proud to announce its one-year memorial of the horrific massacre on October 7, 2023 with a memorial gala which will take place on November 21, 2024 in Miami. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the orphans and widows impacted by the terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas.
The Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation is dedicated to identifying, serving, and continuously supporting the Genesis family of orphans as they navigate through trauma and tragedy, supporting them and their mothers as they grow into adulthood.
This year’s event will highlight the impact of The Doron Grant for Life program, named for Doron Aviman, which represents a precise and comprehensive approach to supporting orphans that offers them more than just short-term relief. Going beyond traditional care, the objective of this platform is to provide comprehensive educational and emotional support, as well as career opportunities, particularly in the Israeli tech sector.
The Doron Grant for Life is a groundbreaking program that seeks to turn the tragedy of loss into a beacon of hope. The program’s core mission is to provide every participating orphan with training, long-term academic and technological support, and the development of self-leadership and community leadership skills. The goal is to ensure that these orphans can achieve financial independence and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
Key objectives of the Doron Grant for Life program include:
- Providing continuous financial support throughout the educational journey, from elementary school to university.
- Offering mental and emotional support to strengthen resilience and self-confidence.
- Ensuring that 100% of participating orphans achieve high academic standards, including matriculation certificates and bachelor’s degrees.
- Facilitating the integration of orphans into professions that secure their financial independence.
“The brutality and shock of what happened last October is still very present, and we have rallied to bring comfort, resources, and long-term support to children orphaned and families whose lives have been shattered,” said Dr. Lior Aviman, CEO of Genesis Friends for Life Israel. “Our mission, especially through the Doron Grant for Life program, is to ensure that these children do not remain victims but become leaders and contributors to society. We are committed to turning darkness into light, sadness into joy, and despair into hope.”
“We must do all we can to support these orphans and widows, and to become their families for life,” said Amiel Aviman, co-founder, Chairman and Managing Director of Genesis Group, and Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation. “With the support of the Members of the Genesis Business Humanity Club, and with others who have joined us in building Friends for Life in the U.S. and Israel, we are able to make a lasting difference as we are committing in full force to supporting the families hit the hardest by the terrible violence on October 7, 2023.”
“We are organizing an army of highly respected business visionaries, government leaders, academics, and volunteers with boots on the ground in Israel,” said Ranny Yarom, who is also co-founder and Managing Director of Genesis Group, and the leader of all activities on the business and humanitarian fronts in Israel. “Each of these orphan’s lives is precious and their potential unlimited when they have our support. They will be the future changemakers in Israel and globally, and from their trauma will come greatness and grace.”
“For nearly twenty years, our group of friends and network of business colleagues have been supporting orphans in Israel through Simcha Connection, ensuring those young people have access to education, religious education, bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs and more,” said Eli Dalfin, Chief Operating Officer of the Foundation, who also founded the partner organization in Miami and has grown it for two decades. “The horrific terrorism that occurred on October 7th sends a strong signal to the world that Israel and Israeli’s are living with an existential threat, and that we all must do what we can to ensure the children and families impacted by violence have what the need to heal and move forward.”
The event promises to be a powerful gathering of supporters, partners, and community leaders dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of these children. Funds raised will directly support the implementation of the Doron Grant for Life program, ensuring that each orphan receives the comprehensive support they need to thrive.
More information will be shared, including the naming of the Host Committee, and attendance of orphans and widows at the Miami event.
