Experience a taste of Long Island's best restaurants at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County's (HMTC) annual Tolerance Benefit: "Taste of Long Island" and Silent Auction. Three middle school and high school students will be presented with the Friedlander Upstander Award, which is a $2,500 scholarship awarded to students from Long Island who have acted as Upstanders against bullying or intolerance in any of its forms.
The Tolerance Benefit is a way for donors, volunteers, Holocaust Survivors and members of the community to join together to raise money in support of HMTC's Holocaust, anti-bias and anti-bullying education programs. Those donations make it possible to provide transportation for school groups to visit HMTC's world-class museum and to hear first-hand testimony from a Holocaust Survivor.
The Tolerance Benefit is sponsored by Sterling Risk Insurance, the Ike, Molly & Steven Elias Foundation, the Maidenbaum Property Tax Group, Title Associates, The Claire Friedlander Family Foundation and Samar Hospitality. Other sponsorship opportunities are available.
