The Unterberg Children’s Hospital Leadership Council Hosts A Toast to Children’s Health on September 17

The Unterberg Children’s Hospital Leadership Council and Monmouth Medical Center Foundation will celebrate the third annual A Toast to Children’s Health in support of The Unterberg Children’s Hospital at Monmouth Medical Center on Saturday, September 17 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the home of Thomas and Ann Unterberg in Rumson.

Each year, the annual wine-tasting event highlights artwork created by pediatric patients involved in the child life program. This program benefits the nearly 22,000 pediatric patients from the community who are treated at The Unterberg Children’s Hospital.

This year, the event will also celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Unterberg Children’s Hospital. In addition to showcasing exclusive art and photography created by the hospital’s pediatric patients, works from local artists will also be on display for sale. The hospital’s great friend and host of the Emmy nominated television show ‘Eat, Drink, Italy,’ Victor Rallo, will also offer fantastic wines for tasting.

"We are happy to work in promoting The Unterberg Children's Hospital as we feel incredibly fortunate to have this amazing, advanced and family-oriented facility available to us in our community,” said Robert and Dianne Butters, co-chairs of A Toast to Children’s Health.

A Toast to Children’s Health supports The Unterberg Children’s Hospital Leadership Council’s mission by raising funds to ensure the hospital’s continual success in delivering extraordinary care that changes children’s lives, restores hope and fosters dreams for tomorrow.

The Leadership Council, led by a group of individuals who serve as ambassadors for the hospital through education and local events, supports Monmouth Medical Center’s commitment to pediatric excellence. Their mission is to educate the community about services available at the hospital, develop philanthropic relationships and promote the health and wellness of children in the community.
