Brooklyn Hospital Foundation’s 2013 Founders Ball raises $1.3 M for Brooklyn Hospital Center
First fundraising event on Barclays Center Arena floor a huge success
In the first fundraising event to be held on the Barclays Center arena floor, The Brooklyn Hospital Foundation raised over $1.3 million at its 2013 Founders Ball, which honored Forest City Ratner President and CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin, Data Delivery Systems, LLC CEO Eric D. Moskow, and Hospital’s VP Academic Affairs, CMIO and Interim Chief of Emergency Medicine Benson Yeh, MD.
Proceeds from the Founders Ball will fund the modernization of the emergency room at The Brooklyn Hospital Center—the Official Hometown Hospital of Barclays Center—one of north Brooklyn’s most urgent health needs.
The gala was co-chaired by Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center & Brooklyn Nets, and Robert B. Catell, former chairman of KeySpan and National Grid US, and Chairman, Advanced Energy Center. Cat Greenleaf, host of Talk Stoop on NBC4 New York, served as MC with Barclay Collins, Chairman of the Brooklyn Hospital Foundation.
