Infant and children’s health will benefit from Greenwich Hospital’s Under the Stars event on June 27. Tickets are on sale for this popular annual summer fundraiser to be held at Riverside Yacht Club from 6:30 to 11:30pm.

This ever-popular summer fundraiser benefits the hospital’s smallest and most vulnerable patients who need the services of the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Department. Greenwich residents Brooke Bremer and April Larken are serving as co-chairs.

“Greenwich Hospital is committed to providing the infants and children in our region with the highest quality of health care in a safe and caring environment,” noted Norman G. Roth, president of Greenwich Hospital.

“We are grateful for the generous support we receive from individuals and businesses who help us achieve this mission,” Mr. Roth added.

On this festive occasion, Greenwich Hospital will honor Jeanne Van Sciver, RNC, CCE, perinatal/neonatal senior coordinator, who has cared for new mothers and children at Greenwich Hospital for more than 34 years.

“Greenwich Hospital provides vital, cutting edge healthcare services to our community. It’s critical that we unite in our support to keep it on the forefront of medicine and to maintain and expand its proven record of excellence,” said Bremer, who is co-chairing this event for the second year.

A casual, mid-summer event, Under the Stars is expected to draw more than 400 guests from Fairfield and Westchester counties. Under a canopy of evening stars, attendees will enjoy cocktails, dinner and dancing against the scenic backdrop of the Long Island Sound. The evening will include an exciting array of silent, live and wine auction items. Dinner will be followed by dancing to the sounds of DJ Christopher Sealey.

Health services to children from birth through adolescence are provided by Greenwich Hospital on more than 20,000 occasions each year.
