Photo Coverage: Broadway for Medicine II Benefit

Hosted by Broadway favorite Halston, the entertainment portion of this gala benefit evening showcased Rudetsky's special brand of "Broadway Deconstruction" in which he hilariously demonstrates just what is brilliant about Broadway and why it can sometimes be a splitting headache! Among those who joined Halston and Rudetsky onstage were Norm Lewis (The Little Mermaid), Andréa Burns (In the Heights), Lillias White (How To Success..., The Life), and the legendary Andrea McArdle (Annie). Peter Flynn directed the evening. Carl Andress was the producer for the NFFR.

The NFFR was proud to honor John R. Gordon for 25 years of unwavering dedication to children with craniofacial differences.

Since its inception in 1951, the mission of the NFFR has been to enable children with craniofacial deformities to receive the surgery they need in order to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. In 1955, the NFFR founded the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (IRPS) at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, which has become one of the most innovative craniofacial centers in the world for research, education and patient care. Over 2,000 children are treated at the IRPS every year, regardless of the severity of their condition or their families' ability to afford medical care. This is achieved both through NFFR funding and through the generosity of the Institute doctors, who provide free appointments, surgeries and follow-up treatment.

More than 55,000 patients have been treated in the past 50 years. For more information visit, www.nffr.org.
