NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Students and families whose children were cared for at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital will come together tonight for a six-hour dance marathon to raise money for the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center.

Beginning Friday, January 30 at 6 p.m. tonight Iona students will dance to support the hospital and advanced children’s healthcare in the region.

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center is the children’s hospital for New York’s Hudson Valley and Fairfield County, Connecticut. As home to the region’s only pediatric intensive care unit, pediatric transplant program, burn care and cardiac catheterization programs, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital cares for the area’s most seriously ill and injured children.

The event will be held at the Mulcahy Gymnasium on the campus of Iona College located at 715 North Avenue in New Rochelle, NY.
