Yesterday, the Garden of Dreams Foundation and the New York-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital unveiled the refurbishments in the Children's Diagnostic Radiology Center made possible by a grant from Garden of Dreams. Celebrities including The Rockettes, John Starks, Rod Gilbert, Adam Graves, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels joined patients and Hospital staff for the ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate and unveil the new corridor. Scroll down for photos!

This represents the Garden of Dreams' largest contribution for any refurbishing project to date and will create a more comfortable, family-friendly environment for the 11,500 children who receive treatment each year for everything from sports related injuries to life threatening illnesses. The area had not been renovated in over 25 years. Now, the hallway is lined with a 130-foot mural by renowned artist, James Kimak and includes new ceilings, lighting, wall protection, flooring and fresh paint.

The Garden of Dreams Foundation is nonprofit charitable organization that works with all areas of The Madison Square Garden Company, including the Knicks, the Rangers, the Liberty, MSG Entertainment, MSG Networks and Fuse, to make dreams come true for children facing obstacles.
