Congratulations to Sylvan Adams upon receiving his Honorary Doctorate

May 19, 2019

We would like to congratulate Israeli philanthropist Sylvan Adams upon receiving his Honorary Doctorate from Tel Aviv University at the 2019 Honorary Degrees Conferment Ceremony in Israel.

Mr. Adams, the only Israeli to have signed up to the ‘Giving Pledge’, established the Margaret and Sylvan Adams Family Foundation to support an array of medical, sporting, and educational philanthropic projects in Israel and Canada.

He is a major supporter and a very good friend of Save a Child’s Heart and the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon.

His continued generous support is helping our efforts to save lives of children from all over the world, right here in Israel.
