Hundreds Turn Out for Barbecue in Support of RCCS

An exciting and tasty barbecue graced East 22nd Street and Avenue I in Flatbush, in front of the home of Pinny and Yaffa Rand, yesterday, July 23rd. The event was for the benefit the Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society and their assistance to cancer-stricken patients in the Flatbush and Crown Heights communities.

Delicious entrees, mouth-watering accoutrements, and exciting raffle prizes and entertainment combined for an evening of chesed and inspiration. Wine tasting, a sushi bar, and other delectable delights added to the festivities. The Mezamrim choral group provided entertainment.

Opening the event was Rabbi Moshe Klein, noted Sofer and Mohel from Crown Heights, beginning with the recitation of Tehillim.

The RCCS then honored Mr. Yoel Brill, the former director of the RCCS, with the Community Service Award.

The event was dedicated in Memory of Tziporah Faiga Gelb (Bas Avrohom Yeudah) OBM, Baila Fogel (bas Chaim Moshe Aryeh Alter) OBM, and Linda Zeffren (Leah Devorah bas Naftali Hertz) OBM.

Each year, RCCS saves the lives of hundreds of cancer-stricken patients in need by subsidizing their health insurance premiums, thus providing them access to the best possible medical care. RCCS subsidizes insurance policies for over 300 cancer-stricken patients, and provides hundreds more with insurance advocacy, social services, and medical direction.
