RECOGNIZING LOVED ONES WITH A BALLOON
For many years at the Gala, friends and families have recognized loved ones with gifts of colorful balloons to benefit the Babies Heart Fund. In recent years, balloons have been sent virtually, on screens at the Gala for all to see and celebrate. Whether you will be in attendance on February 24 or not, we invite you to recognize someone publicly during the Gala by “sending” a virtual balloon and a special message to an individual or group.100% of virtual balloon purchases are tax deductible. If you would like to purchase a virtual balloon in recognition of an individual or group, please contact Heather Messina at babiesheartfund@cumc.columbia.edu or 917-708-1451.
VIRTUAL GOLD BALLOON - $1,000
VIRTUAL CONFETTI BALLOON - $2,500
VIRTUAL BALLOON BOUQUET - $5,000
