The Teddy Kollek Award - Jerusalem Foundation

Alan Hassenfeld
The Hassenfeld Family
Initiatives Foundation:
The Hassenfeld name is most closely associated with one of the world's
largest toy manufacturing companies, Hasbro, Inc. Yet, it is also synonymous
with a worldwide dedication to philanthropic causes and improvement of
the human condition.
The Hassenfeld family has been dedicated to Israel and Jerusalem for
numerous decades. Alan Hassenfeld is the current Chairman of the Board of
the Jerusalem Foundation in the United States; a leadership role he has held
with distinction for the past decade.
Alan Hassenfeld's commitment to Jerusalem starts with Jerusalem's children
and extends to the elderly. The Hassenfeld Family has supported and
lent their name to the Hassenfeld Family Community Center, located in
Kiryat Hayovel, which serves children and youth. In the same location,
the Hassenfeld Center for the Elderly, established by Sylvia Hassenfeld, was
built to offer assistance to the neighborhood's growing population of senior
citizens.
The Jerusalem Variety Center for Child and Family Development is yet
another testament to the Hassenfeld family support for Jerusalem's youth.
The Variety Center unites numerous agencies and organizations that treat
disabled children, providing an integrated system of preventative, curative
and rehabilitative services.
