21st Annual CAREOKE
for the Kids Media Event
Thursday, September 17, 2026

This event brings together New York's media community for a "one-night only" CAREoke (karaoke) concert featuring 20+ courageous groups from all levels of the media industry. The past twenty years' sold-out events raised more than $3,500,000 that directly benefited the deserving children of The Valerie Fund. Our goal this year is to raise $350,000.

When Valerie Goldstein's parents founded The Valerie Fund in 1976, their dream was to help children receive high-quality medical and emotional care in a nurturing environment close to their homes. Today, there are eight Valerie Fund Children's Centers and one Pediatric Pain & Palliative Care Program treating more than 6,500 kids in our tri-state area. In fact, one of the centers is located right here in Manhattan, at Columbia University's New York Children's Hospital.

What Our Kids Say About Us

“One of my favorite memories from The Valerie Fund Center is when Kristen, my child-life specialist, organized a “Little Wish Day” just for me. Everyone dressed up, rang bells, and sang.”
