All proceeds from the well-organized event benefit the Child Life Program at Cohen Children’s Hospital of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.

The Men’s Division works tirelessly throughout the year to raise awareness about CMF and to raise funds for children’s health services. Their membership costs $5000, which allows you to be a member for five years.  The membership benefits include a press release about your membership, invitations to CMF events, a company listing on the Corporate Alliance invitations, special rates to the various Men’s Division functions throughout the year and more.

A membership is a great way to give back to the community and to help children in need.

At Glamorous Cosmetics, each individual woman has the capacity to “indulge in the exotic, delivering beauty and youth from Athens.”  The prices are affordable without compromising on quality.  The company was launched six years ago in Greece, and is now available throughout Eastern Europe and America, offering “three different lines which include Glamorous, G by Glamorous and Supreme, each providing a unique color spectrum.” Clearly though, the company doesn’t just focus on matters that are skin deep as its support of the CMFNY indicates.  As well, the Brooks Family Foundation has been involved in making this charity classic happen.

The organization has enjoyed tremendous success, thanks in great deal to its vast volunteer body.  Indeed, today it is “the largest supporter of Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of NY.”  Each year millions of dollars are raised for this aim, to “help build and equip facilities and fund programs that are vital to the needs of children from our area and from around the world.”  All those involved in the CMF can be extremely proud of its serious contribution to society.

Corey Ribotsky and CMF Leadership

The NIR Group, headquartered in Roslyn, Long Island with Corey Ribotsky as the Managing Member, is involved in a large number of philanthropic endeavors located in the Long Island and New York areas.

One of those beneficiaries of the support of the NIR Group is the Children’s Medical Fund of New York. This fund is a charitable organization which was created to support the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center (Schneider Children’s Hospital) which is located in New Hyde Park in New York.  The CMF helps to ensure that Long Island’s children as well as children from the greater New York metropolitan area have access to the best pediatric care which is available. This is achieved by raising funds to provide infrastructure and equipment as well as sponsoring the needed programs which make the Children’s Medical Center the most modern and successful children’s hospital that is possible.

As the Children’s Medical Fund of NY explained, “This is a perfect example of children helping children.”

Every donation that the Children’s Medical Fund with hard working people like Corey Ribotsky receives helps them to help children. The trustees and the staff of CMF gave a hearty thank you to Eric for his lovely donation.

They presented Eric with a CMF achievement award for his contribution.

In addition to the many games, supporters enjoyed a delicious lunch and a chance to shop for many lovely items.  This fundraiser helped to ensure the best medical attention for children on Long Island with the Children’s Medical Fund and Corey Ribotsky.

Sue Schonfeld was also honored, receiving the 2010 CMF Lifetime Achievement Award.  This award reflects her lifetime commitment of philanthropy, including her generous support of the Hematology/Oncology Unit that is being constructed right now at The Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of NY.

Corey Ribotsky and Howard Tanney

Corey Ribotsky has a mighty strong team working with him at CMFNY. One of these individuals is someone he is accustomed to working with in other capacities, Howard Tanney. Tannyey serves as CMFNY’s assistant treasurer, but is also the Managing Director of the NIR Group LLC, of which Ribotsky is the founder and managing member. Tanney has a wealth of experience that helps him serve in both of these roles, side by side Ribotsky. He has almost 30 years of experience in the financial market, specializing in the energy sector as well as operational experience. He is a licensed certified public account and studied at CUNY as well as St. John’s University.

Presently, CMF is hoping to expand in many ways. They are hoping to build a dedicated pediatric emergency center so that they will no longer have to share an emergency room with Long Island Jewish Medical Center. At the moment, seriously ill children need to go to Long Island Jewish, unnecessarily exposing them to illnesses and issues common to an adult facility.

In addition, the Children’s Medical Fund of New York is hoping to create a new space to meet the growing pediatric needs of children in the area. At present, the Schneider Children’s Hospital, which was built to accommodate 40,000 annual visits, actually sees 160,000 children a year.
