ABOUT CERC

Proceeds from The Spirit of Achievement Luncheon will benefit the National Women’s Division’s Campaign to fund vital clinical research at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC), a nationally renowned program at Einstein serving children with severe developmental disorders such as autism, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, hearing impairments and learning and language disabilities – and their families.

This program will enable CERC clinicians to collaborate with Einstein experts in basic science on a host of important research initiatives aimed at improving the health and quality of life for children with developmental disabilities. This cutting-edge research will aim to identify the causes of, and find better treatments—and ultimately cures—for these devastating conditions.
