The Northern Charitable Foundation made a pledge to the Airborne and Special Operations Museum (ASOM) located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. "Most importantly, we are extremely proud to have the opportunity to support our troops”, Janos added. The ASOM is dedicated to honoring and preserving the heroic feats of the United States Army Airborne and Special Operations troops who have contributed so much to defend our nation’s interests.

The Northern Charitable
Foundation is proud to sponsor the 2018 Wheels of Love in Israel on behalf
of the ALYN Hospital- Israel’s only children orthopedic rehab hospital.I have participated personally on the ride several times and have greatly enjoyed it. Also, I have visited the ALYN Hospital and have personally seen the amazing work they do for all citizens of Israel.
WHEELS OF LOVE is the ALYN Hospital’s largest annual fundraiser. This event is so much more than just a bike ride….it is an annual reunion of old friends from around the world as well as a meet-up of new people. The annual bike ride brings together Americans, Canadians, Israelis and Europeans who are all passionate about Israel, children and cycling. The ride is a five day moving caravan of love and hope. The money raised through the ride helps offset the staggering shortfall the Hospital has because the amount reimbursed from health insurance lags far behind the actual cost of ALYN’s life changing care. The 2018 goal is to raise $3,000,000. We will reach it gift by gift; just as the ALYN children reach their goals step by step.

The NCF is proud of its efforts to help families and patients cope with Alzheimer’s disease. Our work with The Zipporah Fried Alzheimers Center has helped thousands of families and caregivers in Israel through personal consultations with a consultant, seminars for caregivers, lectures by medical experts and workshops. The center is named after Alex Dembitzer’ grandmother that suffered from Alzheimer's for many years.
There are more than 5 million people living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia in the United States. It is estimated that Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80 percent of all dementia cases. Alzheimer’s kills more people than breast and prostate cancer combined. The total cost of caring for those in the United States with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is estimated at 259 billion dollars in 2017. Alzheimer's disease is a slow, progressive disorder of the brain that results in loss of memory and other cognitive function and, eventually death.
