Central
Park, New York City (August 12, 2006) Unicity's 5K Run-Walk
took place Saturday, August 12, at Central Park in New York City.
The run began at 6 am and over 100 people participated in this walk-run.
Many attendees arrived as early as 5:30 am. Invited guest speaker,
Dr. Juanita Jenyons, Professor in Columbia Medical University in New
York City declared the start of the Charity 5K Run-Walk. As a result
of the funds raised at this event, Unicity's Make Life Better Foundation
presented $20,000 to benefit the Center for Prenatal Pediatrics at
Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian.
Each year, thousands of parents throughout the New York area as well
as the world bring their children to the Morgan Stanley Children's
Hospital of New York-Presbyterian and to the Phyllis and David Komansky
Center for Children's Health to seek the expertise, compassion, and
medical leadership that has defined these institutions for more than
a century.
The
Center for Prenatal Pediatrics is dedicated to helping pregnant women
and their families when a significant birth defect or genetic condition
has been found in their unborn baby. The Center specializes in diagnosing
and treating a variety of complex conditions such as:
- Congenital heart
disease
- Fetal
chest anomalies and other birth defects
- Genetic
syndromes
Nearly $10,000
was raised through donations by Unicity's independent business associates
and other participants in the 5k run-walk.
Stewart Hughes, Unicity CEO, personally matched the funds, rounding
the total donation to an even $20,000.
