KiDS of NYU Foundation, Inc., sponsored a family bowling party to benefit children’s health services at NYU Langone Medical Center on Sunday, January 25th at Chelsea Piers. Children from toddlers to teens, along with their parents, grandparents and guests, filled the 40 lanes, and also enjoyed roving magicians, face-painting, caricaturists, arts and crafts, and more.

The "bowling bash" was co-chaired by Dierdre and Joshua Laterman, Kimberly Pozner, Abigail Scheuer Atema, Lisa Anderson and Barry Goldfeder, and Jessica and Michael Weaver.

The event raised $85,000. KiDS' next event, Springfling, will be held Wednesday, May 20th at The Plaza. This year’s Sprinfling will celebrate the extraordinary care provided to children at NYU Langone Medical Center by recognizing Joseph Levy, MD, director of pediatric gastroenterology.

During those years, he watched his boss contribute to numerous charities and people in New York City and around the country. He learned from watching. The gala where they honored Mr. Tisch raised $250,000 to send doctors, nurses and food to Ghana and to other areas in need, to provide life saving surgeries and aid.
