The money will be used to support Israel's blood bank, as well as purchase mobile intensive care units, emergency response motorcycles and fully equipped ambulances. Leno kept the momentum of donations going with quick witted jokes. As people simultaneously stood up to make donations, Leno joked, "We want to make sure every Jew in Israel has their own ambulance," followed by, "Does anyone have land in Israel where we can park all these ambulances?" The evening got off to a bang as Christian Pastor Robert Stearns sang Hatikvah, Israel's national anthem, and spoke of his enormous love for Israel.
