Long Bright Cantata – Concert of Hope

At this event, Irving Feintech and Bob Silverstein will be receiving a “Lifetime Humanitarian Award” for their extraordinary community service and in particular their leadership in raising hundreds of millions of dollars for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Please take a moment to read the invitation to a remarkable event that will take place March 11, 2010 at UCLA’s Royce Hall – the Long Bright Cantata – a Concert of Hope the proceeds will be used by researchers and doctors in Israel who are discovering amazing new treatments and cutting edge solutions to eradicate cancer.

I am hopeful that after you have read this invitation that you will feel compelled as I do to support this special and inspirational evening. This incredibly touching tribute chronicling Anni Baker Wolman’s courageous struggle with breast cancer will be performed by the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, award winning Israeli soprano Hila Plitmann and Kol Isha, an interfaith, inter-generational women’s choir. The Cantata is a life altering, inspirational and artistic expression. It is a Concert of Hope and through ICRF, the proceeds will be used by researchers and doctors in Israel who are discovering cutting edge solutions to eradicate cancer. Additional event information is available at www.longbright.org.

There is so much outstanding news that I could share with you about the ICRF. They have funded groundbreaking work at over twenty universities, hospitals and institutions in Israel. ICRF scientists have been the recipients of two Nobel Prizes, five Israel Prizes, two Albert Lasker Awards, a Wolf Prize, and have played a key role in the discovery of important drugs such as Gleevec. “Bricks and mortar” are not funded. Funds raised go directly to researchers in Israel and their work is shared globally.

I hope that you will be able to join us. Thank you for your caring and generosity.

Mission Statement

The Women’s Professional Network (WPN) was formed by Adrian Grant, an established Los Angeles Realtor and philanthropist, to build a network and community of successful and like-minded dynamic women. Together with co-chairs, Gloria Shulman and Lynda Levy, WPN has grown from a small gathering to a vibrant dedicated group of women from professions including medical, mental health, art, finance, and law.


The mission for WPN is to foster, enlighten, and educate women who want to expand their professional services as well as charitable services by offering their time and financial assistance to the larger community. One of the goals of WPN is to expand the support and growth of women through chapters around the country and world because we believe in being mindful of our role(s) in society and the many contributions we make. Madeleine Albright said it best - "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."


WPN meets on the first Monday of each month at a private home providing dinner and a topical presentation. Feel free to browse our website for WPN meeting information and calendar of exciting events.
