Adelsons donate 100 mobility scooters to disabled ‎IDF veterans ‎

Some 100 mobility scooters were donated last week to disabled Israel Defense Forces veterans by philanthropists Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson.

The donation was announced during an event hosted by ‎the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization last week at ‎the Beit Halochem veterans' center in Tel Aviv‎. ‎

The Adelsons have previously donated 260 mobility ‎scooters to disabled veterans. ‎

Chairman of the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization ‎‎Haim Bar, the group's CEO Col. (ret.) Haim Ronen and ‎Friends of the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization ‎head Maj. Gen. (res.) Eliezer Shkedi, attended the ‎event.‎ ‎

‎"We are part of the family of disabled IDF veterans ‎and we have an obligation to support you. We are happy to be ‎able to help with your mobility and improve your ‎quality of life," the couple said. ‎

The Adelson family owns the company that is the ‎primary shareholder in Israel Hayom.‎
