New York (HedgeCo.net) – The hedge fund community got together last night at New York’s Covet Lounge to celebrate the holiday season and give back at the Hedge Fund Industry’s Jingle Ball 2010.

“We are bringing the hedge fund community together in a great way, to have fun and give back,” said Marcel Herbst, Managing Director of Weston Capital Management.”

Co-hosted by Marcel Herbst of Weston Capital Management and Andrew Rabinowitz of Marathon Asset Management, the event sold-out with over 500 hedge fund managers, investors and others to support R Baby Foundation (R Baby), the first and only not for profit foundation uniquely focused on saving babies lives through improving pediatric emergency care.

“Without the incredible passion of the people involved, the progress we’ve made in improving pediatric emergency care would not be possible,” said Andrew Rabinowitz, COO of Marathon Asset Management and co-founder of R Baby. “Although we will celebrate the holidays with peers from our industry tonight, the proceeds from this party and other events we will organize in the coming year will help to accomplish much more for pediatric care. We appreciate everyone who has come out to support the cause and invite others to get involved in future R Baby activities.”

Established in 2006, R Baby organizes and funds efforts to improve the outcomes of medical care for infants. Co-founded by Andrew and Phyllis Rabinowitz, R Baby supports grants across a broad spectrum of areas, including training, equipment, education and communication.

Other key supporters of the Hedge Fund Industry’s Jingle Ball 2010 include Jennifer Prosek of CJP Communications, Zachary Rosenbaum of Lowenstein Sandler and Mr. G of Channel 11, who has been a longtime supporter of R Baby.
