Local ShopRite Stores Raise over $83,000 in Support of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital

We recently visited ShopRite in Chester, NY, to celebrate our ongoing partnership and the incredible generosity of the ShopRite community. During a two-week campaign last November, customers at ShopRite locations across the Hudson Valley donated more than $83,000 to support Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and its lifesaving care for local children. We are deeply grateful to the ShopRite staff and their dedicated customers for their continued commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the families we serve.

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital Celebrated Valentine’s Day with Love from the Community

Love was in the air this February as we partnered with some amazing local businesses to spread joy throughout Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. On February 13, we teamed up with the Hillcrest Marshall Dunkin’ for a special Valentine’s celebration at the hospital, delivering smiles — and plenty of donuts — to patients and their families. Heavenly Productions added to the joy by donating more than 200 stuffed animals, and Walmart helped spread the love with handmade Valentine’s Day cards, making the holiday even more meaningful for our patients and their families.

Heart Health Celebrated at Heart Night Out

On Thursday, February 26, Heart Night Out (formerly Girls’ Night Out), the annual fundraiser for the WMCHealth Heart and Vascular Institute, was held at The Hollows at DeCicco & Sons in Sleepy Hollow. Guests enjoyed heartwarming stories, shopped for a cause, and helped raise vital funds to advance heart health. Steven Lansman, MD, PhD, Director of the Department of Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, received the Physician Exemplar award for his outstanding work in the field of cardiology.  Virginia Kolner, Director of Medical Operations at the New York State Troopers Surgeons, was given the Heart Hero award for her ongoing role in helping New York State Troopers receive cardiac care. Proceeds from the event benefit the WMCHealth Heart and Vascular Institute, which offers a wide range of cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and vascular surgery services, including heart transplantation, treatment for heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and more, to Hudson Valley residents.
