On March 1, 2004, a beautiful four-year-old little girl from Manhattan’s Upper East Side died suddenly after contracting Influenza B less than two days earlier. In response to this devastating tragedy, the Amanda Kanowitz Foundation has been established to raise awareness of the risks of Influenza, determine why children like Amanda are dying, help identify which other children should be considered high-risk, and develop effective treatment for extreme reactions to Influenza and other infectious diseases.
Our third annual Family Fun Day Benefit will be held on September 9, 2006 at Victorian Gardens at Wollman Rink in New york City’s Central Park.
This fantastic event will include carnival rides and games, a climbing wall, live entertainment, face painting, art projects, a silent auction and great food.
