Scarsdale Teens Raise Money for White Plains Hospital

Several Scarsdale teenagers and members of the Junior Friends of White Plains Hospital (WPH) sweated and cycled their way to raising funds to benefit White Plains Hospital Family Health Center on September 22.

Spearheaded by Charlotte Meyers, 17, president of the Scarsdale High School Junior Friends of WPH, the fundraiser drew 23 cyclists to the Flywheel Sports cycling studio in Scarsdale. The teens raised nearly $1500 in support of local healthcare.

The students are members of the Junior Friends of White Plains Hospital and work closely with their adult counterparts in the Friends of White Plains Hospital. The mission of these groups is to raise awareness, provide volunteer services, and raise money for valuable Hospital programs.

The Family Health Center, which opened in a new location in June, provides preventive, primary care, and specialty services to families and children living in White Plains and surrounding neighborhoods.
