New York (Oct 5, 2011)
On Saturday, October 29, NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital's Pediatric Orthopaedic Division will be holding their 3rd Annual Move-athon benefiting Columbia University Pediatric Orthopaedic Research. All funds raised will support finding innovative and effective ways to help kids move and thrive with musculoskeletal conditions, such as cerebral palsy, scoliosis, SMA and developmental dysplasia of the hip DDH). The Halloween Move-athon will take place on Saturday, October 29, 2011 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Wintergarden of New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, 3959 Broadway (at 165th Street), New York, NY.
This "spooktacular" event will keep kids moving for three hours with carnival games, Halloween craft making, dancing, basketball, a magic show and much more! Attendees will also meet real-life superheroes from the NYPD and FDNY. Children of all abilities and their parents are welcomed to attend, and Halloween costumes are encouraged but not required.
While many children are affected with orthopedic conditions due to injuries or accidents, a large percentage are born with musculoskeletal disorders that affect their growth, development and ability to thrive in their daily lives. All donations from the Halloween Move-athon will go directly toward improving the quality of life for these children.
Participants are also encouraged (but not required) to help us raise more funds by getting friends, family or neighbors to sponsor their moves. Prizes will be given to all fundraisers and the top three fundraisers will get their choice of a special prize, including a Wii Console Game. The Halloween Move-athon is free to attend and open to the public, but registration is required. Donations are welcome.
Join the Move-athon this Halloween. It's the perfect opportunity to have festive fun in a safe environment, while learning the valuable lesson of helping others.
Registration is required.
