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.
Gift of Life’s newest life-saving initiative - its Umbilical Cord Blood Program - promises to save even more lives than ever before. Cord blood transplantation holds untold promise in providing a viable treatment option.
Among Gift of Life's most successful programs is its landmark recruitment partnership with campus-based groups including Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life and AEPi Fraternity.
The Taglit-Birthright Israel program, which provides the gift of free first time trips to Israel for Jewish young adults, is often described as the opportunity of a lifetime.
