Who Wants to See Elsa on 5th? We Do!

On Friday, May 29th at 12pm, South Slope Pediatrics' Dr. Cao will be walking around Park Slope dressed up as either Elsa (from Frozen) or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, based on the votes and funds raised through their Crowdrise campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness and money for the Jonah's Just Begun Foundation to Cure Sanfilippo (JBB). Click here for more information and to donate and vote for Dr. Cao's costume!

Also,  on July 18th, join Dr. Cau and the staff of South Slope Pediatrics for a "Luau at Lakeside" party at The Lefrak Center in Prospect Park. The event will help to raise much-needed funds to drive the science needed for a cure for this disease. It will be a fun-filled family luncheon event, including a silent auction, face painting and access to the different activities on site (roller skating, etc).
