The event took place in the Berwick Family Auditorium at York Central. Donors enjoyed presentations by Hospital President & CEO Altaf Stationwala, Woman & Child Program Operations Director Sally Rogers, Neonatologist Dr. David Gryn, Patient Family Member Rina Lamba, Foundation President & CEO Bill Leacy and Foundation Chair Dr. Nicholas Voudouris.
Rina Lamba shared the heartwarming story of her newest addition's health concerns and demonstrated how the NICU was there for her and her family when they needed it the most. She also spoke of her experiences with her first child who required the services of York Central's old NICU four years ago.

"We are blessed with another child, JAIAN, our first, who is now 4 years. He was also born in this hospital and because he was two months premature, he spent 6 weeks in the old NICU. JAIAN got great care there too, but to see the new facility that is more spacious, brighter and with all the most up to date technology --- the rocking chairs are fabulous – all of this inspires a comfortable and confident environment for any new mother."![]()
Dr. Voudouris thanked the donors who attended and presented them with cards. Peter Miller and Stephen Forman, owners of several McDonald's restaurants in the area, presented a cheque to Foundation staff for the proceeds from McHappy Day 2011 which were designated to the NICU.
After the presentations and speeches, Dr. David Gryn toured donors through the new unit so they could see firsthand the remarkable impact their gifts are having on patient care. Donors also had their photos taken by the NICU sign and were served refreshments in the Berwick.
