THE DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ BENEFIT FOR EMANUEL SYNDROME
10/05/2008 - By Chelsea Art Museum

THE DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ BENEFIT FOR EMANUEL SYNDROME

On October 5, 2008, 450 professionals gathered at the Chelsea Art Museum for the Don’t Stop Believin’ Benefit, a black tie fundraiser to support a rare chromosome disorder called Emanuel Syndrome.

Children born with Emanuel Syndrome have an extra chromosome that causes severe developmental disabilities. Many children with the condition will never walk or talk, and require hours of physical and speech therapy every day. According to non-profit support group Chromosome 22 Central, Inc., (c22c) only 200 families have identified themselves as having children living with this diagnosis. Emanuel Syndrome is so rare that affected families receive hardly any philanthropic support. But Team Dylan is changing that.

Jessica Abo, an anchor at NY1 News, assembled this star team of 25 young professionals to help raise awareness and money for families living with Emanuel Syndrome. Abo first heard about Emanuel Syndrome from Melissa Rabinovich, an executive producer at NY1 whose son Dylan was born with the disease. Initially doctors told Melissa and her husband Oleg that their son wouldn’t live to see his first birthday. But his 3rd birthday is just months away and he continues to defy all odds. “We wouldn’t have survived the last 2 ½ years without c22c or its founder, Stephanie St. Pierre. The group has been a lifeline for our family,” Rabinovich said. “We want everyone to know while the benefit may be happening in honor of our son, all of the money we raise will go toward helping families in the c22c network.”

Team Dylan put together an exciting evening with celebrity guests, entertainment by Hank Lane Music, silent and live auctions, a raffle and an open bar and food. Auction prizes include luxury travel, dining, and on-air experiences with NY1 anchors and reporters.
