| On Monday evening, June 13, 2011, long-time friends Bette Midler and Paul Simon reunited to support and perform at the Children’s Health Fund’s Annual Benefit in New York, where they surprised guests with a rousing performance of “The Boxer.” Political elite including former Mayor David Dinkins, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, New York City public advocate Bill de Blasio and Sandra Lee, the first girlfriend of NYC, were also on hand to support the cause. The annual benefit helps raise money to sustain and expand CHF’s national network of pediatric programs. In its 24th year, the Children’s Health Fund is the nation’s leading pediatric provider of mobile-based health care for homeless and low-income children and their families, with outreach initiatives from New York to Detroit to San Francisco which provide comprehensive health care services to homeless and low-income children, regardless of their families’ ability to pay. |
