The Milstein Family Foundation hosted its annual Milstein Student Reception at the 2019 AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., with over 400 Milstein Fellows – including high school students, college students, and young professionals – in attendance.
As part of the reception, MFF held the final event of its second annual Innovation Competition. Three student groups presented their out-of-the-box, pro-Israel projects for a chance to win up to $16,000 to execute their initiative and an additional cash prize for the crowd favorite initiative.
A student group from Baruch College won both the crowd favorite prize and the grand prize for their project “Brave.” “Brave” will strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship on campus by building on the innate connections between the veteran communities from both countries. The cohort-based initiative will create a community of IDF and American veterans, educate the campus community about the U.S.-Israel relationship, and culminate in an immersive Shabbaton experience.
