The Associates Committee of The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s 20th Annual Bunny Hop March 8, 2011

On Tuesday, March 8, 2011, The Associates Committee of The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will host the 20th annual Bunny Hop at FAO Schwarz. A Society tradition and considered the most high profile family event of the year, the Bunny Hop is a thrilling evening for families and children of all ages. Over 1,000 people including The Society’s members, celebrity guests, and New York families will enjoy a carnival atmosphere and a variety of hands-on activities such as cupcake decorating; face painting; fun photo booths; dress up areas; live animal presentations; entertainment from magicians, DJs, and favorite cartoons characters. Event Co-Chairs are Kate Allen, Laura Harris, Laura McVey, and Palmer O’Sullivan.

Proceeds from this year’s Bunny Hop will continue to support the Pediatric Family Housing Endowment, which The Associates Committee has pledged to raise $2 million over five years. This fund pays for overnight stays at a special nearby accommodation when children and their families come from out of town for treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s Pediatric Department and are unable to afford this expense.
