In 1995, The Needlers became major supporters of the internationally renowned pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Fred Epstein of Beth Israel Hospital and the Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery also known as the INN. The INN is now part of Continuum Health Partners and under the leadership of Dr. Alejandro Berenstein. The INN attracts patients from across the country and around the world because of its professional and technologically sophisticated procedures.

Additional Needlers funds have helped to support NYU Medical Center in New York, The Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, and The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore to name a few. We also support camps for underprivileged children.
