Chai Lifeline, the Jewish community’s leading children’s health and crisis support network, will host its National Gala on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at Pier Sixty in New York City. This year’s gala theme, “Shining Together,” reflects Chai Lifeline’s mission to uplift and unite all those impacted by serious illness and crisis, from the sick child to every family member and the broader community, providing strength and hope in the face of unimaginable challenges.

Chai Lifeline, in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and the Center of Liver Disease and Transplantation, recently hosted a special event for the Jewish community at Columbia’s Pediatric Liver Disease and Transplant Center. This gathering, held on October 31, brought together leading pediatric specialists, community members, and families to strengthen connections within the Jewish community and provide critical health information.
