  CHEFS COOK FOR KIDS EVENT RAISES OVER $100,000
FOR SCHNEIDER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

More than 300 food and drink aficionados packed the Delano Mansion at the Woodlands in Woodbury on May 12, 2009, for Chefs Cook for Kids, an epicurean event that raised over $100,000 to support the Child Life & Education Services Program at Schneider Children’s Hospital (SCH), a member of the North Shore-LIJ Health System.

Chefs and representatives from over 20 local restaurants and vineyards provided generous samples of their wares, and a number of exciting prizes were offered through a live auction and raffles.

Nappi, president, North Shore-LIJ Health System Foundation; Tom Schaudel, Long Island chef and author; Chantal Weinhold, executive director, Schneider Children’s Hospital; and Ed Chernoff, chairman, NLD for Pediatrics.

Famed celebrity chef and Chef Chairman for the event Tom Schaudel (below) was also on hand to personally sign his new book titled “Playing With Fire: Whining & Dining on the Gold Coast”.  This book is filled with vignettes of difficult customers, stressed-out cooks, harried wait staff, and the truly disturbed, and takes an affectionate romp through Tom Schaudel’s restaurants to introduce you to the most memorable cast of characters he’s experienced in his forty years in the business.

The Child Life & Education Services Program at Schneider Children’s Hospital is designed to alleviate the trauma experienced by children who are hospitalized. SCH, recently ranked for the second year in a row among the best children’s hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, is committed to the comprehensive care of children, from infants to young adults.
