Benefits

Golisano Children’s Hospital

The mission of Golisano Children’s Hospital is to provide the best possible care to the children and families of Western New York through teaching, caring, learning, and discovering the most effective treatment options for every child that walks through our doors.  We make every attempt to provide each child with the exceptional care they both need and deserve.

The resources provided by everyone involved with the Ugly Disco will support the Patient Supportive Care Program and the Bright Eyes Fund, both of which are lead by Dr. David Korones.

The Patient Supportive Care Program is designed to help alleviate patient suffering through high-quality pain and symptom management, patient-centered care for those experiencing serious illness, and by providing support for patients, family members, and friends.

The Bright Eyes Fund was established to help fund educational and research efforts and to enhance diagnostic and treatment options for patients with Pediatric Brain Tumors.
