Among the honored guests were Zeev Feig’s aunt and uncle, Marita and George Feldenkreis who, along with Zeev and Hadas, graciously endowed the Eva F. Feig Ovarian Cancer Center in Rambam’s Joseph Fishman Oncology Center in beloved memory of George’s sister and Zeev’s mother.

In addition to George Feldenkreis, President and CEO Emeritus of Perry Ellis International, family members attending included George’s son, Oscar Feldenkreis, currently President and CEO of Perry Ellis International and also President of Friends of the Israel Defense Forces in Miami, along with George’s daughter, Fanny Hanono, whose son Evan visited and toured Rambam this past summer with his grandfather George.

AFORAM salutes the Feig and Feldenkreis families, whose generous donations are helping to save the lives of countless women in Israel and around the world stricken with this life-threatening disease.
