MSKCC’s Annual Bunny Hop Bash At FAO Schwarz

Photo by Patrick McMullan

Say hello to March with Bunny Hop, a family-friendly fundraising bash at FAO Schwarz complete with carnival festivities like face painting, sand art stations, costume dress-up, and more!

Like many years before, kid-favorite Magic Al is returning to the party to amaze young partygoers, who will also get to enjoy a live musical performance by Broadway babies. Lots of delicious bites will be floating around the entire night, but foodie fams can also look forward to a serious round of cookie and cupcake decorating. For older tweens and teens, DJs will have everyone pumped.

More importantly  the annual fundraiser, hosted by The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s Associates Committee and Tiffany & Co, helps families pay for overnight stays in the renown cancer center’s pediatric department. If you’re looking for some early Easter fun in New York’s most famous toy store, this is a great way to do just that while contributing for a worthwhile cause.

A bonus for parents who enjoy the occasional celeb sighting: The event promises to be a star-studded affair with greats like Nina Garcia as co-chairs, Debra Messing as honorary chairman, and other stars like Ramses Barden of the NY Giants as guests.

Admission is $200 for adults, $80 for children. For additional information, contact Charlotte Reardon at 212-639-2103 or reardonc@mskcc.org; www.thesocietyofmskcc.org.
