$500,000 Donation Received In Memory Of Board Member Barry Cohen

ALEXANDRIA, VA – The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) announced today that the organization has received a $500,000 donation in memory of board member Abraham E. “Barry” Cohen who recently died. The donation was made by Osamu Nagayama, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Mr. Cohen had been a member of the ICMEC Board of Directors since 2003 and served as Vice-Chairman of the Board.

From 1982 to 1992, Mr. Cohen served as Senior Vice President of Merck & Co. and from 1977 to 1988 as President of the Merck Sharp & Dohme International Division. After his retirement from Merck in 1992, Mr. Cohen was an international business consultant and a member of several boards, including Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Teva Pharmaceutical, Akzo Nobel NV, Vasomedical, Inc., BioTime, Inc. and Mannkind Corporation.

During Mr. Cohen’s service on the ICMEC Board he recruited senior executives from several global corporations to the ICMEC Board. One of his personal objectives was to increase awareness around the world about what is happening to children and of the vital role that ICMEC is playing in addressing this epidemic of child victimization.

Mr. Nagayama and Chugai’s donation of $500,000 will be used to help launch a global prevention and awareness campaign on the victimization of children. The campaign will impact the lives and the future of millions of children.

Abraham "Barry" Cohen, Chair of American Friends of Rabin Medical Center (AFRMC) for 12 years passed away on Nov 22nd, 2012, only 4 days after the annual fundraising Gala of AFRMC, which has over 600 participants.

Dr. Eyran Halpern and the staff of Rabin Medical Center mourn the loss of a true friend of the hospital who dedicated so many years of his life leading American Friends of Rabin Medical Center. He brought this organization to great recognition in the Jewish community in New York bringing the support of many new people, of all ages. Barry's commitment to the hospital was not simply of the Chair, but was personal. Barry was a great supporter of the hospital and believed in the importance of helping this hospital advance toward providing the best medical care to all the citizens of Israel. Barry will be greatly missed by all of us who know him but his legacy will live on in the continuing work of American Friends of Rabin Medical Center. We offer our sincerest condolences to his wife Yvonne, his children Daniel, Yvette and Denise and to his grandchildren.

Below of the words of Nava Barak, President of Friends of Rabin Medical Center, which were spoken on her behalf.

"It is very difficult for me to part from Barry, a dear friend and a special person, Chairman of our Friends organization in the USA.

Just last week we were together at the Gala event and at the traditional reception in Barry and Yvonne's home. I was so upset and saddened, when the first news that I received after landing in Israel was that our dear friend Barry is no longer with us.

Barry was a people's person – always surrounded by friends, his home open to all, supporting various causes and devoting his total self, body and soul, to the organizations with which he was involved. Every year he hosted Rabin Medical Center's friends at his home, and even this year, with his health declining and his strength weakening, he was there for us.

Under Barry's leadership, AFRMC developed into a large and highly respected organization. Barry was a visionary, he had great dreams, and he was so happy to see his dreams realized in the hospital. He motivated many people to support the hospital and was an inspiration for us all.
