Holy Name's Annual Founders Ball to take place at The Museum of Modern Art

Holy Name Medical Center's Annual Founders Ball, presented by the Holy Name Health Care Foundation, will take place on Saturday, November 12 at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. This year's Founders Ball will honor Lucia Palestroni and The Alfiero & Lucia Palestroni Foundation, Inc. with the Spirit of Healing Award for their longtime dedication and continued support of Holy Name Medical Center.

"We are proud to honor Mrs. Palestroni and the Palestroni Foundation at Holy Name's most prestigious fundraising event-our Annual Founders Ball," said Michael Maron, President/CEO of Holy Name Medical Center. "The Palestroni Foundation's generosity over the years has been paramount to sustaining and growing our facility and services. Their most recent support of Villa Marie Claire Hospice is a great example of their commitment and compassion to our community's health and well-being. In addition, The Palestroni Foundation provided the funding needed to expand the services of Holy Name's Dialysis Unit. We are happy to have this opportunity to show our appreciation to them at our annual gala."

"This year's Founders Ball is already slated to be an extraordinary evening," said Joseph Parisi, Jr. Chairman of the Holy Name Health Care Foundation. "Holy Name Medical Center will be presenting the Spirit of Healing Award to Lucia Palestroni and The Alfiero & Lucia Palestroni Foundation at The MoMA where guests will have an exclusive opportunity for private viewings of major museum exhibitions."
