Winthrop | Donate : 12th Annual Opera Night Raises $75,000 for Child Life

On March 12, 2009, devoted supporters of Winthrop’s Child Life Program spent an evening enjoying fine dining and incredible musical performances by internationally renowned opera singers to raise funds to benefit the Hospital’s Child Life Program. The 12th Annual Night at the Opera, “Sweet Voices for Precious Children,” raised $65,000 for a program that is dedicated exclusively to minimizing children’s fears and anxiety during the hospital experience.

More than 200 guests were in attendance to enjoy a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner at the Garden City Hotel as the magnificent harmony of Karen Foster, soprano; Sarah Heltzel, mezzo soprano; and Theresa Santiago, soprano, accompanied by pianist Caren Levine, filled the room.

Warren Rosenfeld, MD, Chairman of Pediatrics at Winthrop, expressed his deep gratitude to all those attendance of this year’s event and for their unwavering support.

“Thank you for joining me on this wonderful occasion to celebrate a vital program that benefits countless families and impacts thousands of lives. It is an honor for me to personally thank you for all you have done to support Winthrop’s Child Life Program,” he said.
