Whether you will be in attendance on February 24 or not, we invite you to recognize someone publicly during the Gala by “sending” a virtual balloon and a special message to an individual or group.100% of virtual balloon purchases are tax deductible. If you would like to purchase a virtual balloon in recognition of an individual or group, please contact Heather Messina at babiesheartfund@cumc.columbia.edu or 917-708-1451.
