Club TLC Benefits Families <strong>of</strong> “NICU Babies”<br />

A night <strong>of</strong> dancing, cocktails, light bites <strong>and</strong> socializing at the Maximus Spa & Salon in Mineola was also a fundraiser <strong>for</strong> the Tender<br />

Loving Care (TLC) Foundation, which raises funds <strong>for</strong> support programs geared toward families <strong>of</strong> newborns treated in the Neonatal<br />

Intensive Care Units (NICU) at the North Shore-LIJ Health System’s Steven <strong>and</strong> Alex<strong>and</strong>ra Cohen Children’s Medical Center <strong>of</strong> New York<br />

in New Hyde Park <strong>and</strong> Manhasset. Sick <strong>and</strong> critically ill newborns <strong>of</strong>ten spend weeks or months in the NICUs receiving highly specialized<br />

care, putting an enormous<br />

strain on families.<br />

Proceeds from this event<br />

<strong>and</strong> those in 2010 <strong>and</strong> 2011<br />

have helped or will help<br />

provide funding <strong>for</strong> muchneeded<br />

medical equipment<br />

such as a Transport Isolette<br />

<strong>and</strong> Retscan Retina Scanning<br />

Unit, as well as support <strong>for</strong> the<br />

music therapy program, family<br />

support groups, monthly<br />

dinners in the NICU <strong>and</strong><br />

sibling outreach.<br />
