Nine restaurants in Bayside and Flushing kicked off on Monday their week of charity by donating a portion of their proceeds to help critically ill and injured children.
Officially naming this week “St. Mary’s Week,” the restaurants agreed to donate a portion of their profits this week to St. Mary’s Hospital for Children in Bayside, which is the state’s largest provider of long-term care for children with complex medical conditions.
“Families come to St. Mary’s in search of the best care possible, which we are proud to provide every single day. Every dollar raised this week will go toward critical care for children with special needs,” said St. Mary’s CEO Eddie Simpser. “We are thrilled that our neighborhood restaurants in Bayside are stepping up to support St. Mary’s children.”
St. Mary’s is a nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of care, treating children across the borough and the metropolitan area through a network of inpatient, home care and community programs and services.
