"We are a company of more than 800 women, many of whom are mothers or grandmothers of young children." " It's very rewarding to be involved in helping to raise funds for this hospital, which is dedicated to providing for the health and well-being of all children in our area." The new Maria Fareri Children's Hospital cares for the area's most critically ill and injured children. The Hospital is named for Maria Fareri, 13, who tragically died in 1995. After Maria's death, her parents Brenda and John Fareri learned that Westchester Medical Center was developing plans for a new children's hospital. Ironically, an assignment Maria had recently completed in school expressed her wish "for the health and well-being of all children in the world." The Fareri's then decided to act on Maria's wish and raise funds to support the construction of a worldclass children's hospital. Funds raised at the "Girls' Night Out" event will support the programs and services of the hospital, which opened in September 2004. Tickets are $90 per person. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (914) 478-1332. Invitations can also be picked up at all Houlihan/Lawrence's Westchester locations. |
