The Parker Jewish Institute is hosting its 2024 gala at 5:30 p.m., on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at the Queens Museum, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
This year’s gala will feature live musical performances, food, a Resident Art Auction, and fun. This year’s honoree is EmPRO Insurance, which will be recognized for its dedication in serving and protecting the health care community.
All of the funds raised will support Parker’s mission of enhancing programs and services for the Institute’s patients and residents, as well as support the thousands of people who access the institute’s continuum of services each year.
Parker continues to meet the challenge of a rapidly increasing adult population, with both innovation and growth, while maintaining the warmth and compassion that have consistently distinguished Parker’s services.
The 2024 gala will include dinner by Abigail Kirsch, as well as elegant kosher and Indian cuisine upon request.
Serving as the evening’s master of ceremonies is Marla Diamond, the longtime radio reporter from WCBS 880.
The evening will also feature radio host and Rabbi Joseph Potasnik. Wanda Houston is the evening’s musical guest, performing a mix of jazz and R&B. The attendees can participate in the Resident Art Auction, which has been curated to include the works of Parker’s talented artists.
“We are really looking forward to this year’s gala at the iconic Queens Museum, and express our deepest gratitude to our donors and sponsors, said Michael N. Rosenblut, The Parker Jewish Institute’s President and CEO. “Our wonderful volunteers help make a meaningful difference to so many older adults across our community.”
