Feinstein Summer Concert raises $3.6M to support medical innovation

Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling global singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani headlined the 19th annual Feinstein Summer Concert, which raised $3.6 million to advance scientific discovery at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research.  

For more than two decades, researchers at the Feinstein Institutes have made important discoveries that have transformed the treatment of conditions such as lupus, arthritis, sepsis, cancer, psychiatric illnesses and Alzheimer’s disease. More than 5,000 researchers and staff at the Feinstein Institutes are dedicated to producing knowledge to cure disease, directly impacting the care of over 2 million Northwell patients each year.

Since its inception, the Feinstein Summer Concert has raised more than $40 million to accelerate research and fuel the development of innovative therapies to treat illness and cure disease. The event, held on July 11th at Old Westbury Gardens, propels Northwell’s ability to pioneer solutions that are impacting the trajectory of medicine around the world.

Chris Wragge, co-anchor of “CBS 2 News This Morning” and “CBS 2 News at Noon,” served as the event's emcee for the eighth year. Catering and event design were coordinated by Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events. The Feinstein Institutes thanks its generous donors and this year’s leadership sponsors, the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Foundation and Donald Zucker and Barbara Hrbek Zucker.

The Feinstein Summer Concert supports Northwell’s Outpacing the Impossible campaign, a comprehensive $1.4 billion fundraising effort that supports Northwell’s promise to the people it serves. The campaign’s objectives include improving hospitals and clinical programs, accelerating research and funding endowment.
