Nearly 15 years ago, Gift of Life was established as a grass roots effort to increase the number of donors of Jewish ancestry in international registries.
The Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation’s Sixth Annual Partners for Life Gala, held on May 4 at New York’s Grand Hyatt, was a wonderful evening of magical moments and miracle meetings.
In 1991, news of then New Jersey resident Jay Feinberg’s struggle to find a donor to rescue him from leukemia inspired thousands to get involved in the campaign to save his life.
Gift of Life's Founder and Executive Director, Jay Feinberg received an honorary doctorate at Yeshiva University's 81st Annual Hanukkah Dinner and Convocation on Sunday, December 11, 2005 at The Waldorf Astoria.
In 1995, Jay Feinberg underwent a bone marrow transplant that saved his life at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA. Ten years later, he returned to celebrate life at the Legacy for Life reunion.
