Los Angeles Professional Services Industry Raises More than $500,000 for National Jewish Health

On June 1, 2019, the Los Angeles professional services industry held their annual Black & White Ball to support National Jewish Health, the nation’s leading respiratory hospital. Nearly 450 people attended the event presented by Brutzkus Gubner Rozansky Seror Weber LLP and Rosenthal & Rosenthal of California, at the Intercontinental Downtown Los Angeles and raised more than $500,000.

Sydnee Breuer, of Rosenthal & Rosenthal of California, and Nicholas A. Rozansky, of Brutzkus Gubner Rozansky Seror Weber, LLP, received the National Jewish Health Humanitarian Award for their significant civic and charitable contributions to their communities and professions.

The Los Angeles professional services industry has gathered for a dinner to support National Jewish Health and honor members of their profession for more than 50 years. Proceeds from the Black & White Ball help advance National Jewish Health compassionate care and groundbreaking research for children and adults with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related diseases.

This year the event honored Sydnee Breuer of Rosenthal & Rosenthal of California and Nicholas A. Rozansky of Brutzkus Gubner Rozansky Seror Weber LLP with the Humanitarian Award, which is given to individuals across the country who have made significant civic and charitable contributions to their communities and professions.

“I am involved in a number of other charities, but none quite like National Jewish Health, which attracts such a diverse group who are not necessarily connected to the hospital medically, but who have grown to support it because they understand its importance,” Rozansky told the attendees.

The co-chairs for the dinner were Gail K. Bernstein of PNC Business Credit; Robert Ezra of Freeman, Freeman & Smiley LLP; Ronald S. Friedman of Marcum LLP; Robert K. Lewin a former honoree; William Mark Levinson of Thompson Coburn LLP and Debbie Steinberg a former honoree. Top sponsors were Fashion Manuscripts and Connected Apparel.
