Brent Delman didn’t want to throw just another summer singles party.
After hearing from his cousins in Israel about the deaths of their friends in the army, Delman, a New York-based club and party promoter, decided on a benefit for terror victims in Israel.
So he joined forces with promoters of trendy clubs in the city, including Halo, Metrodome, Mod and the Supper Club, as well as some in the Hamptons, to sponsor the "We Are One" benefit Wednesday night at Float, 240 W. 52nd St. and Broadway.
"We’re doing this in conjunction with One Israel Fund and the Israel Emergency Solidarity Fund to help them protect and preserve the lives and morale of the courageous soldiers and residents of Israel," Delman said. The party will feature musical guests Benji Rafaeli and the Hamsa boys, guest DJs and a silent auction.
Proceeds will go directly to support the terror victims and their families, "who are on the front line of Israel and America’s war against terrorism," Delman said.
The party runs from 7:30 p.m. till 2:30 a.m. Tickets are $36 to $200; donations are tax deductible. For information, call (917) 388-5344.
