More than 1,200 Mount Sinai faculty, staff, patients, families, and friends enjoyed a fun-filled day at a private performance of the Big Apple Circus on Sunday, November 10, at Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center.
The event was hosted by the Mount Sinai Children’s Center Foundation (CCF), which has supported children and families served by Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital for 33 years. It is the largest fundraiser for the Jack and Lucy Clark Department of Pediatrics, and proceeds provide critical support for the Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Program; seed funding for exceptional junior physician-scientists; and support for the Program for Underserved Children.
The benefit was chaired by Sara and Nathaniel Zilkha and honored CCF Co-Chair Vicki Panzier Gross and Karen M. Wilson, MD, MPH, the Debra and Leon Black Professor and Division Chief of General Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
“I am so thankful to the CCF for all of its support,” said Dr. Wilson.
