The Brooklyn Hospital Foundation drew a crowd of roughly 1,000 people at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday night for its 2015 Founders Ball to help raise money and to recognize its three honorees.
The money raised from the event goes toward the Pediatric Emergency Department. Last year’s event raised $1.7 million.
The Founders Medal was presented to Conlon by Ofer Cohen, the president and CEO of TerraCRG.
“Chris is known in the real estate industry for his ability to visualize and execute projects, projects that transform neighborhoods and inspire the residents,” Cohen said. “With City Point, his latest project, Chris and Acadia took the time to get to know the Brooklyn Hospital.
