If you were moved by the Hearts of Courage Gala and the stories of Uri and Ben, we invite you to partner with us to help the IDF Widows & Orphans Organization. Due to the impact of the pandemic, they’re in a $400,000+ deficit and need our help to continue providing the support given to the widows & orphans. All proceeds from the night of the Gala and through December 31, 2022 will be sent to the IDFWO.

who benefits from the Gala?

All proceeds will benefit the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Widows & Orphans Organization and Ark of Israel Initiatives to unite America & Israel.

  • The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Widows & Orphans Organization are the sole organization recognized by the State of Israel to represent the widows, widowers, and orphans of Israel’s fallen soldiers.

    They strive to provide them, with the support, both financial and emotional, that a parent or spouse generally provides for his or her family, and to make a difference in the lives of our widows, widowers, and orphans.
