Event Title: Adults in Toyland Casino Night. Event Description: The 2008 Adults In Toyland Casino Night supports the Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at NYU Langone Medical Center’s vital integrative care programs, which greatly reduce stress and anxiety in patients and families that are not covered by health insurance. The Committee has raised over $2.5 million thus far to help care for the 800+ children treated annually at the Center. Since its inception in 1990, the Hassenfeld Center has established itself as a national leader in outpatient treatment of childhood cancers and blood diseases. Funds raised from the Adults In Toyland Casino Night event will support programs that include: interim treatment; transportation and lodging costs for patients and families in need; emergency discretionary funds; nutrition education and music therapy; and staff positions critical to these programs. The Hassenfeld Center offers a unique approach to pediatrics, combining world-class medical therapies and facilities with essential psychosocial and emotional support services for young patients and their families. The experts at the Center provide compassionate, personalized care, which creates a positive experience throughout the fight against cancer and blood disorders and long after the illness is cured.
