Maimonides Hospital holds ‘Champions of Healing Annual Gala’
The Kids for Kids Foundation, an organization to raise funds for children and families battling catastrophic diseases, was honored by Maimonides Medical Center on Monday at the Champions of Healing Annual Gala at Barclays Center.
The Kids for Kids Foundation was established in 2008 when a group of friends joined together to raise funds for children and families battling these diseases. Most recently, the kids foundation made a generous gift of $1.5 million to name the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit within Maimonides Sutton Center for Neonatology. Kids for Kids presented the check to the hospital at the gala.
One of the organization’s core values is teaching young children the importance of helping others in need at the early stages of their lives.
Cocktails were served as guests walked into Barclays Center before moving into the arena for dinner and the awards presentation. Award recipients were invited to sit onstage. Guests also viewed a short film about Maimonides Hospital.
