Mansion in May Raises Millions for Goryeb Children's Hospital Expansions

All around, it was a record-setting month of May, and in the end, the children who will use Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Medical Center will benefit from it.

For the seventeenth year, the Women’s Association of Morristown Medical Center put together Mansion in May, this year at Blairsden in Somerset County. The month-long event saw 33,000 visitors to the historic structure, raising $2 million for the hospital.

The funds will be used to expand the Joan and Edward Foley Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and new Autism Center at Goryeb Children’s Hospital.

Some 1,200 volunteers also helped work on the Mansion in May event.
