Harvest Ball to Support Expansion of Newborn Nursery at Albert Einstein Medical Center

Philadelphia, PA, October 4, 2007 – The prestigious 55th annual Harvest Ball, hosted by the Auxiliary of Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2007 at the Park Hyatt Philadelphia at the Bellevue, Broad and Walnut Streets, in Philadelphia.

The theme this year is “A Welcome Addition: Giving New Life Quality Care.” Proceeds will support the expansion and enhancement of the newborn nursery at Albert Einstein Medical Center. This is a vital expansion since, with the closing of obstetrical services at many area hospitals, Einstein is expected to deliver more babies than ever – approximately 3,000 babies each year.

This year, the ball honors one of its own – longtime Auxilian Eileen Seskin and her husband, Les, for their continued support of Albert Einstein Healthcare Network. Tickets are $300 per person. Reservations can be made by calling 215-456-6172.
