Out in full stride for wildlife 🏃‍♀️🐾 As a sponsor for this year’s Wildlife Conservation Society () Run for the Wild at the Bronx Zoo (), Montefiore Einstein was proud to support an event that brought together more than 5,700 participants to raise awareness and funds for wildlife conservation. This year’s run highlighted the endangered red panda.

After the 5K and 3K events, participants got to enjoy all-day admission to the zoo, including ZUMBA instruction, interactive wildlife characters, music, games, face painting, and more. It was great to see members of our Einstein community come out in support.
