As the center point of Comprehensive Cancer Center's healing garden The History of the Star of David will be promoted as a cultural and artistic attraction for people, tour groups and students to visit the Soroka and Be'er Sheva. The hospital will work with the country's many tourism organizations including the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, as well as the city of Be'er Sheva, to promote the artwork at the hospital. Additionally, on-site lectures will be developed for tour and school groups from around the country.
This project will help position Soroka Medical Center and the Cancer Center for increased consumer awareness and international press recognition. The heightened public relations surrounding the project will also help improve Soroka's notoriety and will become a key talking point, offering valuable support to the hospital's international fundraising.
Soroka is seeking to secure a donor to facilitate the acquisition of this large scale original of The History of the Star of David artwork at 16 x 24 feet, and make it the permanent focal point of the new Comprehensive Cancer Center's healing garden where it can be viewed and experienced by patients, staff, visitors and tourists.
In addition to serving as a symbol of the strength and perseverance of the Jewish people, the placement of the piece at the Cancer Center will launch a partnership that will link the artwork to a philanthropic mission to support Soroka. This will create a continual revenue stream for the Cancer Center from merchandising of the artwork at the hospital, as well as from a percentage of all worldwide art sales, merchandising and licensing being donated to the Cancer Center in perpetuity from the project. In doing so, the piece will promote the hospital and its life-saving services, which include prevention, diagnosis, research, education, advanced treatment, and cancer care for children, adults and Israeli Defense Force soldiers
The History of the Star of David signage in the main lobby of the Cancer Center will also recognize the donor and any dedication.
