The Stoop
From The Brooklyn Paper (emphasis added):
Bay Ridge: Beloved comic David Brenner — the thinking man’s Seinfeld — will headline Lutheran Medical Center’s 125th anniversary dinner dance on May 10. True, the event is in Gaphattan, but it raises money for a good cause: Lutheran Hospital ER department! Our pals at Forest City Ratner are also supporting the gala, which honors Nets CEO Brett Yormark.
From the press release:
"Next to our soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets, I can't imagine a more winning team than Lutheran HealthCare and Brett Yormark," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. "Brett has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for the return of professional sports to Brooklyn—spearheading the Nets' move to a new arena at Atlantic Yards. And just as our borough will benefit from Brett's vision and extraordinary leadership, so will Lutheran HealthCare as it continues to provide its patients with the very best health care available."
"Because this is such an important year for Lutheran, we wanted to select a corporate honoree who best represents the energy and excitement of Brooklyn's future," said Wendy Z. Goldstein, president and CEO, LHC. "Mr. Yormark and Nets Sports and Entertainment LLC do that and much more. We are honored to have his support and we are delighted to welcome him to Brooklyn and to the Lutheran HealthCare family. It is going to be a wonderful evening."
