Stewart Rahr revs up United Hatzalah with $1.3 million ambucycle donation

Citing his passionate desire to see worthy charities viewed as the “underdog” succeed, charismatic New York Billionaire and philanthropist Stewart “Stewie Rah Rah” Rahr on Jan. 28 donated 50 life-saving ambucycle vehicles worth a total of $1.3 million to Israel’s United Hatzalah emergency services group.

… By utilizing its ambucycle fleet with its patented GPS based dispatch technology, the group’s 2,300 medical volunteers are able to arrive first on site to administer urgent care within minutes from the initial call of distress – bridging the gap between emergency and ambulance arrival.
