NEW YORK, NY (March 31, 2014) – The Annual Mets Welcome Home Dinner at the Hilton New York officially welcomed back the team to Citi Field on March 31, 2014. The evening featured a dinner program and concluded with an autograph session with the 2014 New York Mets.
During the program, Dayle Katz and Ruth Slade, both Associate Trustees of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, were presented with the “Every Woman Matters Award.” Each year, the award is presented to individuals who exemplify outstanding leadership, care and achievement in promoting women’s health. As co-chairs of Partners Council for Women’s Health since 2000, both Dayle and Ruth have greatly enhanced the health system’s ability to purchase important equipment, fund critical research projects and build programs for the betterment of the women in our community.
The dinner raised more than $500,000 for The Katz Institute for Women's Health and Katz Women's Hospitals and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
