The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills served as a beautiful backdrop for this memorable Bar Mitzvah. All eyes were on Jamie as he read from the Torah against the backdrop of an enchanted garden complete with chandeliers and twinkling lights. From the service guests were escorted through an exciting maze of rooms with a surprise around every corner. The main ballroom had been totally transformed into an elegant black and gold party and the love and energy for this special boy and his family was contagious. Everyone was up on their feet dancing and celebrating which made for a great night for our team! Congratulations Jamie!!

After receiving $25,000 in gifts at his Bar Mitzvah, Drew Frank purchased 800 pairs of sneakers and in collaboration with Braden Aboud Foundation, donated every last pair to kids in need.

“I’m giving sneakers to these kids who may otherwise not have new sneakers,” he says. “They just get shoes that have been passed down from generation to generation. I just wanted to give back to these kids who are less fortunate than me.”

We are so proud to have been a part of Drew’s Bar Mitzvah weekend. A truly inspiring young man!

Below is a segment from Good Morning America about Drew’s incredible story.
