The Best is Yet to Come drew 310 people to the Benson Hotel March 8 to raise $153,000 for the seniors at Cedar Sinai Park’s Robison Jewish Health Center.

Paul and Sherry Fishman spoke about the care and support their parents have received at RJHC.“Their lives at Robison are rich and meaningful,” said Sherry.

Following the Fishman’s presentation, CSP President-elect Paul Frisch rallied the crowd to honor the home’s residents during a mitzvah moment; the crowd responded pledging $69,500.  Presenting sponsors for the evening were the Goodman family (Doug and Lila Goodman, Greg Goodman and Susan Schnitzer and Mark and Christi Goodman) and Harold and Arlene Schnitzer and Jordan and Mina Schnitzer.
