Patient Nylannie Arzu was greeted by event sponsor Andy Pesky and Santa.
More than 200 Mount Sinai Beth Israel pediatric patients, joined by patients affiliated with the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, enjoyed live entertainment from a musician, magician, and face painters at a carnival-style holiday party on Sunday, December 9, in the atrium of Mount Sinai Union Square.
The event was sponsored by Andy and Elaine Pesky of the global travel agency Protravel International, who brought 100 volunteers from the organization to help oversee the festivities. Throughout the day, children played at game booths, created holiday-themed arts and crafts, and stopped by a popcorn machine and hot dog cart for snacks. The highlight of the event was a special visit from Santa Claus and the delivery of gifts.
