Santa Brings Chappaqua Boy Present By Copter

Claus snagged a ride via Westchester Medical Center’s Life Net New York helicopter for a visit with sick and injured children at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.

Once on the ground, Santa brightened the day for patients including, from front left, Chappaqua’s William Finnerty, 4, with mom Kara Finnerty and Marty Finnerty, 1; and, in back, Pleasantville’s Katherine Mahoney, 8, by handing out presents in the lobby.

Eric Zohar, President and Owner of ISS Associates and Zohar Tactical CQC, and the Life Net crew arranged for the donation of presents by Lower Hudson Valley residents and businesses.

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, the children’s hospital for New York’s Hudson Valley and Connecticut’s Fairfield County, is a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network.
