Only two days into Hatzalah-week, the week of appreciation and celebration of Hatzalah around the world, the fundraising campaign has already raised $6 million.
The campaign is being held by Hatzalah branches around the world, who are raising funds for their life-saving work.
The campaign goal is $15 million, however, organizers expect to surpass that goal as support for the work of Hatzalah volunteers pours in from generous donors around the world.
“We knew this campaign would be successful because so many are indebted to the Hatzalah organization for their tireless self-sacrifice to others,” says Shloimy Greenwald, one of the coordinators of the global effort to raise awareness of the campaign and organizer of Thursday evening’s live Hatzalah-Thon event. “But we had no idea how quickly the funds and support would come in.
“We are grateful to the generous donors around the world who are making this possible and helping to strengthen Hatzalah branches so they can continue to save lives 24/7.”
