Dear Friend,
10
Greetings! We hope this correspondence finds you in
the best of spirits. We would like to cordially invite you to
take part in an upcoming Meridian Capital Group event
known as the Meridian Genetic Partnership Fund.
This gathering will serve to benefit Bonei Olam - a
legendary organization which was founded to alleviate
the suffering of childless couples, help finance the
exorbitant costs of modern fertility treatments and offer
a comprehensive array of genetic-related services in the
fields of Genetic Research and Clinical Genetics.
Over the years the Meridian Genetic Partnership Fund
and Bonei Olam have partnered to create fantastic
events raising millions of dollars that directly benefitted
childless couples. This year it is our privilege to honor
our dear friend and colleague, Isaac Filler, a real estate
broker known for his outstanding professionalism.
Our featured guest speaker, John Catsimatidis, is the
esteemed CEO of Red Apple Group. A commemorative
Corporate Sponsorship Journal will be distributed at the
event celebrating the partnership between Meridian
Capital Group and Bonei Olam.
We ask you from the bottom of our hearts to please
take a moment to read more about the Meridian
Genetic Partnership Fund and participate in our annual
fundraising event on Wednesday March 25th 2015.
With your help we will assist couples in achieving their
dreams of building healthy families.
Thank you for your collaboration and we look forward to
greeting you personally.

Meridian Capital Group is partnering with Bonei
Olam on a joint humanitarian endeavor: to help
medical researchers identify fatal genetic mutations
causing life threatening disorders among children.
The funds raised for this project will benefit the
Meridian Genetic Partnership Fund. Bonei Olam is
renowned in the medical research community for its
dedication to eradicating critical genetic disorders; as a
result of the past year's event, multiple solutions have
already been identified to combat an impressive range
of specific and rare genetic mutations.
This special partnership will allow companies affiliated
with Meridian Capital Group to participate in this
noble cause, receive high-profile recognition for their
pioneering partnership, and help struggling couples
realize their lifelong dream.

The History of Bonei Olam
BROAD STREET BALLROOM
Bonei Olam was founded to alleviate the suffering of
4 1 Bro a d S t , N ew Yo rk , N Y 10 0 0 4
childless couples and help finance the exorbitant costs
of modern fertility treatments. The organization has
guided countless couples through the labyrinth of medical
options, underwritten thousands of fertility procedures
and launched a groundbreaking Genetics Program
critically acclaimed by medical researchers worldwide.

The Triumphs
The Goals
Bonei Olam has partnered with world-renowned
medical researchers who utilize modern genetic
technologies to assist infertile couples struggling with
failed pregnancies. As a direct result of Bonei Olam’s
Genetics Program - and thanks to the funds generated
through last year's Meridian Genetic Partnership Fund
- the projected objectives were reached. Hundreds of
couples were able to use advanced prenatal options and
ultimately blessed with the birth of healthy children.
The following genetic mutations were identified as a
result of the previous year's goals:
Meridian Capital Group recognizes the importance
of Bonei Olam’s Genetics Program and encourages
business affiliates to join the Meridian Genetic
Partnership Fund and advance Bonei Olam’s lifesaving
work. All tax-deducible donations generated will be
allocated toward the research of serious medical issues
caused by genetic mutations. The goal for this year's
event is to raise $500,000 in funding to identify the
following five genetic mutations. The future begins
now; be a part of it.
• Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy
Hearing Loss
• Pelizaeus Merzbacher-Like Disease
There are many different causes of
hearing loss in infants and young
children, making it difficult to
diagnose even those cases caused by
a known disease. We will continue to
work with leading researchers to find
novel mutations that will help lead
to a proper diagnosis and potential
treatment.

• Hydrocephalus with Mental retardation
• Congenital Microcephaly
We finally somehow found a human
on this planet who understood where
we were... there was a world built in
that one meeting. We felt there was
hope again."

{ Establishing Future Visions }
Blindness
We have already identified previously
unknown diseases linked to
blindness through our work, but we
will continue to search and identify
the precise variations, which can
later be used for diagnostic purposes
as well as in reproductive planning.
Primary Ciliary
Dyskinesia (PCD)
Early-Onset
Microcephaly
We are working with a family that
has two children who were found
to have early-onset microcephaly,
spasticity, and feeding difficulty. We
are performing DNA analysis on the
family to uncover the genetic culprit
of this hereditary disorder.
Suspected
Mitochondrial
Disorder
We are performing DNA studies
for a family with children affected
by an unknown disease, possibly
mitochondrial in nature. Our team
plans to study genetic variants
present in the children to help
characterize this disease and its
genetic basis.
This is a rare genetic disorder of
the lungs, resulting in blockages
and infections of the airways. We
are working to find the genetic
mutations linked to PCD.
A better future begins today.
We invite you to take part of it.
