United Hatzalah is the largest independent, non-profit, fully volunteer emergency medical service (EMS) organization that provides the fastest emergency medical service throughout Israel.

Design Industry for Peace was created to raise money through creative and artistic design, in support of unified peace. Through their ongoing online auction, taking place through Nov. 17, proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization United Hatzalah.

According to Lisa Ben Isvy,  founding principal of LBI ConneXt, "The 'Design Industry for Peace' was created to raise money through our creative and artistic design talents, it is even so much more than that.  During one of the most difficult times in history, we created a community that has been there for one another as support for each other.   We are all heartbroken with no clear direction, so there is no better way to redirect that energy and work together as a unified large group standing for peace."
