Babies Heart Fund Gala
On February 28, 2024, members of the Babies Heart Fund community joined together to celebrate the 34th Annual Babies Heart Fund Gala at The Pierre in New York City.
This year’s Gala honored Lawrence Neubauer, for his longtime leadership and support of Columbia Children’s Health, now culminating in a phenomenal commitment to Columbia to advance pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiac surgery research.
The Babies Heart Fund supports pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery research that leads to breakthroughs in care for children with complex heart conditions, in our local community and around the globe. Columbia’s physician-scientists are world leaders in developing novel ways to treat and save children, and funding from the Babies Heart Fund accelerates innovation.
