The American Friends of Soroka Medical Center partnered with Neiman Marcus Paramus to host a stylish benefit last month. It included a private runway show presented by Israeli-born fashion designer Rickie Freeman showcasing her multi-generational collection of dresses from her signature brand Teri Jon, available exclusively at Neiman Marcus.

Guests raised funds to support Soroka Medical Center’s lifesaving mission; 10 percent of all Teri Jon purchases goes to the Israeli hospital. Guests also participated in a raffle to win a limited edition work of art from “The History of the Star of David” art series valued at $4,000 donated by artist Marc Bennett.
