New York—Moishe Hellman and Mel Zachter, co-presidents of OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services, announced the Annual Gala will be held on Sunday, November 24, 2013 at the New York Marriot Marquis. The event kicks off with a reception at 5:00 pm, followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. Over 1,000 friends and supporters are expected to attend.

For the first time, OHEL will be celebrating two all-stars of Camp Kaylie, OHEL’s premiere Summer Camp—Nina Bernheim, daughter of Malkie and Josh Bernheim of Bergenfield and Malkie Rubin, daughter of Tzivia and Yossie Rubin of Teaneck.

The evening’s Guests of Honor are Chani and Jay Kestenbaum of Lawrence, who have been actively involved at OHEL for over two decades.

This year’s Corporate Guest of Honor is investorsBank, supporters of OHEL’s work. Headquartered in Short Hills New Jersey, investorsBank now has nearly 150 branches throughout New Jersey and New York.

For almost 45 years, OHEL has provided critical programs and services to help ensure that children are protected, well cared for, loved and encouraged to thrive. OHEL’s legendary Foster Care Program, its domestic abuse shelters, Camp Kaylie, programs for the siblings of children with developmental disabilities, and its residential facilities serving 450 clients from New York, New Jersey and beyond are just some of the many ways in which OHEL has ensured that ALL individuals of ALL abilities are able to shine.

Support for the Annual Gala will give children with developmental disabilities the opportunity to attend summer camp alongside their typically developing peers; respite and support to the parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders; access to the best medical care for children living with OHEL foster families; all among many other important programs and services.
