CMF Gala A Success

Generous supporters of CMF:Community National Bank, Classic Trucking and Frassanito Jewelers

The Garden City chapter of Children's Medical fund held its biggest fundraiser of the year, An Evening at the Races, at Chateau Briand on February 3 rd. The air was charged with excitement as 160 guests bet on the ponies, won great prizes, danced the night away and enjoyed a fabulous dinner!

All proceeds from this event will help to fund the many worthwhile projects taking place at Schneider Children's Hospital, including Long Island's First Pediatric Emergency Center. What a comfort to know that such a vital facility will be located nearby!

The success of this function relies greatly on the generosity of the people and businesses in the community. The chapter was thrilled with the response and thanked all who contributed. They extended a very special and heartfelt "thank you" to Elena Dilemme and Lilli Diller for their hard work and dedication to the children at Schneider's.
