Man Makes $1 Million Pledge at Bonei Olam Flatbush Dinner
September 23, 2008 *-- *
Just a few moments ago, a man stood up at tonight's Bonei Olam Inaugural Flatbush Dinner and pledged a whopping one million dollars to the organization, stunning the massive crowd. Eyewitnesses tell YWN that the crowd (estimated to be close to two thousand people) gave the man - the owner the new 20,000 square-foot Pomegranate store in Flatbush - a standing ovation. ''People stood up for more than two minutes and cheered and clapped for Mr. Abraham Bander after he made his pledge'', Shmuel Brody told YWN. ''It was an unforgettable site to see''.
A detailed report on this amazing act of Tzedakah, the dinner taking place at the El Caribe Ballroom, along with photos will be forthcoming.
