On April 30, Calvary Hospital hosted its annual Spring Donor Brunch at The New York Botanical Garden.
Two hundred and eighty-six people gathered at the picturesque site to hear about the latest news from about the Hospital. Two family members, Socorro DeJesus and Missy Cohen Pirinea, shared their experience with CalvaryCare for their brother and husband, respectively. Ms. Pirinea's husband and Ms. DeJesus' brother were Calvary patients in 2007 and 2014, respectively.
Afterward, attendees enjoyed the Chihuly exhibit at the NYBG.
The Spring Donor Brunch is a function for The Society of 1899, established by Calvary Hospital to honor the visionary men and women who made gifts to or made a bequest to the hospital. It is held annually at prestigious auction houses throughout Manhattan. Society members are invited to attend an art specialist’s presentation, a private viewing of a currently-featured exhibit, and a reception following the program. Brunches in recent years have featured lectures and exhibits of Old Masters paintings, European furniture and decorative arts, and Russian art.
