An Evening for Sheba · In aid of Sheba Medical Center
The Sheba Charity Auction
An unforgettable evening of dinner, music and a silent auction, raising vital support for the young patients of Sheba Medical Center’s Edmond & Lily Safra Children’s Hospital — children healing from illness, injury and the trauma of war.
Why we are here
Healing the wounds you cannot see
Sheba Medical Center is the largest hospital in Israel and the Middle East, and a “Hospital of Peace” whose doors stay open to everyone in need — Jewish or Muslim, Israeli or Palestinian, civilian or refugee. At its Edmond & Lily Safra Children’s Hospital, around 40% of young patients come from Gaza, the Palestinian Authority and neighbouring countries, and no child in urgent need is ever turned away.
Since the events of recent years, children across the region have been living with the trauma of sustained fear and loss. Our fundraising is for them: to help these young patients and their families heal, both the physical and the emotional scars, through trauma therapy, art and music therapy, medical support dogs, and the everyday care that gives a frightened child a way back to hope.
Every pound raised is donated in full to the children of the Safra Children’s Hospital. A tax-deductible certificate is available for donations.
