The Cardiovascular Research Foundation's (CRF) Third Annual Pulse of the City Gala

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation's (CRF) Third Annual Pulse of the City Gala

THE CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDS FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION AT THE THIRD ANNUAL PULSE OF THE CITY GALA

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) hosted its Third Annual Pulse of the City Gala on October 22, 2009 at The Waldorf= Astoria. The cocktail reception followed by dinner and dancing honored renowned interventional cardiologist and researcher Dr. Martin B. Leon, and successfully raised funds for the foundation’s medical research and educational programs.

Committee co-chairs Dr. Gregg W. Stone and Dr. Jeffrey W. Moses, along with honorary chair Dr. Eric A. Rose were supported by a benefit committee that included Tovah Feldshuh, Alexandra J. Lansky, MD, Gary S. Mintz, MD, Roxana Mehran, MD, and Mehmet C. Oz, MD. More than 450 guests gathered over cocktails at The Waldorf=Astoria’s rooftop starlight room, and then sat down for a poignant presentation introduced by William A. Himmeslbach, FACHE, Eric B. Woldenberg, Esq., Dr. Jeffrey W. Moses, and Dr. Gregg W. Stone. A video tribute to honoree Dr. Martin B. Leon was screened, which told, among other stories, the heartfelt story of Tovah Feldshuh and her mother Lillian Feldshuh, who survived a near-fatal heart condition thanks to Dr. Leon and was on hand to celebrate her 98.5 birthday.

The fete continued with an elegant dinner of roasted vegetable timbales, beef tenderloin with brandy sauce and a delightful chocolate savarin. By the time petits four were served, most attendees had already made their way to the dance floor to celebrate well into the evening. Guests included Mayor Ed Koch, Andrea Abiziad, MD and Alex Abiziad, MD, Ariel Moses, Carson Griffith, Sheehan Raab, Debra and Art Rosenthal, George D. Dangas, MD, Dr. Amy Stone, Gail Blanke, Jim Cusick, Juan Granada, MD and Lina Lopez, Keven Duffy, Sinan Biro, and Margaret and Greg Kaluza, MD.

Proceeds from the evening benefited CRF and its growing cardiovascular research and education programs.
