Approximately
$300,000 was raised to support research in genetic
medicine at a May 2 “Spirit of Achievement” Luncheon
of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's
Women's Division.
The event, which
attracted more than 400 supporters of the medical
school to the Waldorf - Astoria in New York City,
also honored six exceptional women who have made
outstanding contributions in their fields. Deirdre Imus,
president and founder of the Deirdre Imus Environmental
Center for Pediatric Oncology, was given The Lizette
H. Sarnoff Award for Volunteer Service and the following
five women received “Spirit of Achievement” Awards: Candace
Bushnell, television producer, radio host
and creator of “Sex and the City”; Christiane
Celle, founder and CEO of Calypso; Elizabeth
F. Stribling, president of Stribling & Associates; Fran
Weissler, five-time Tony Award-winning producer,
and Nina Zagat, co-founder and co-chair
of Zagat Survey.
The National Women's Division of the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
-- a pre-eminent center for research, medical education
and clinical investigation -- has supported and encouraged
the growth and development of the medical school
since the Division was founded in 1953 – two
years before the College opened. Since its first
luncheon honoring women of achievement in 1954, the
Division has grown to include 1,500 members with
chapters in New York City, New Jersey and Westchester/Fairfield
Counties. It has raised over $100 million for biomedical
research and education.
