HI EVERYONE!
I am so excited (notice the all caps in the salutation?) to announce that WE HAVE REACHED OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL FOR THE EHHOP FASTATHON 2012!!!!! THANKS TO THE DONORS BELOW FOR BRINGING IT HOME!!!
Mike and Debbie Rankine - $150
Richard and Susan Lahne - $250
Anonymous - $300
Kris Stensland - $50
This brings us to a total of $10,580. We are $580 over our goal, and this doesn't even count the other donations that I have not yet been told about.
Thank you all so much for your support of EHHOP's work in East Harlem. EHHOP's annual budget is $40,000, and the EHHOP Fastathon always strives to raise at least 25% of that operating budget so that the clinic can continue to provide medications, specialty services, social work services, nutrition services, and many more services for uninsured East Harlem patients who would otherwise have nowhere else to go.
Thank you all again and a have a good night. This is a huge achievement for us in the history of the Fastathon, and this will be my last post before tomorrow.
David

Home Stretch!
Hi all!
Tomorrow morning, 139 Mount Sinai students (medical and graduate) will awake before sunrise and eat breakfast. Then, at approximately 7AM, all 139 of these students will stop eating and drinking and go for 12 hours through their day. At 7PM, these students will participate in a break-fast meal, generously provided by Maharaja Palace and Famous Famiglia and paid for by Mount Sinai's Student Council as well as the Graduate School.
Why do we do this? We do this to raise money for the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership (www.mssm.edu/ehhop). We do this because 6 years ago, the Muslim Students Association and EHHOP got together and used the tradition of Ramadan to ask for financial sponsors who would give money in support of the students who willingly fasted to support EHHOP. We do this because we believe in the mission of EHHOP to provide healthcare to those who are uninsured and who have conditions which have debilitating consequences if not well controlled. We do this because we believe that healthcare is a right and not a privilege. We do this because we care.
Our goal this year was to raise $10,000 and 130 student fasters in support of EHHOP. EHHOP's annual budget this year is $40,000, and at the moment, we are just short of our goal of $10,000. Below is the list of fasters who have donated in the past few days since my last post. Thanks so much for your support!
Mr. and Mrs. David Saiger - $40
Dr. Scott Friedman - $250
Dr. Lloyd Mayer - $250
Eric Chiang - $50
Yvette Wang - $20
Dr. Neal M. Kurzrok - $100
Ms. Ella D. Kaszubski - $25
Mubashar Khan - $100
Adam Jacobs - $100
This puts us at $9090 raised for EHHOP! We are $910 short of our goal of $10,000! I know in the last 24 hours of the Fastathon Campaign we can do this! Thanks so much for all of you who have given so much of your time, energy, money, and future-willpower (for the fasters) into supporting the EHHOP Fastathon and EHHOP.
Take care and happy fasting tomorrow!
David

A White Coat Ceremony Update
Hi all,
Today is Mount Sinai's White Coat Ceremony, a tradition in which Mount Sinai's first year medical students (this year the class of 2016) are given their white coats and a stethescope. It's typically a tradition of honor, in which a medical student oath is recited, and is a time and place for family and friends to publicly acknowledge all the work the students have put into their pre-medical work.
I am happy to say that many of the students signed up to fast are part of this first year class, and so, along with the rest of the Mount Sinai community, I congratulate you, the class of 2016, on making it this far. It will be four fun-filled years together, with many trials and tribulations along the way, and I wish you the best.
But I digress...
Thanks to those below for donating!
Dr. Theresa Soriano & Ian Harnick - $100 (6X givers)
