Newswise — Joey McIntyre and The New Kids on the Block will lend their voices to launch the new Cures for Kids Fund at Mass. Eye and Ear during Sense-ation!, a gala being held Oct. 13 at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. The group will entertain as part of the evening’s festivities.
Born in Massachusetts, Joey McIntyre is returning to Boston because he is passionate about the research Mass. Eye and Ear is doing to help children. Joey’s son Rhys was born with hearing loss. The Cures for Kids Fund will help Mass. Eye and Ear conduct research to find new cures – from genetic therapy for inherited eye diseases to new surgical techniques for pediatric facial paralysis – and to support the innovation of specialists and staff who offer compassionate care to the most vulnerable patients and their families. Mass. Eye and Ear researchers developed the first newborn hearing screener that enabled babies to be screened for hearing loss before leaving the hospital nursery. Today newborn hearing screening is mandated in most states to help identify children with hearing loss to allow for early intervention.
“The Cures for Kids Fund will help Mass. Eye and Ear conduct research to find new cures for blindness, deafness and other severe conditions, and to support some of the world’s best patient care professionals as they treat the most vulnerable patients,” said Wyc Grousbeck, Mass. Eye and Ear Chairman of the Board and Sense-ation! Co-chair. “Mass. Eye and Ear has been leading the way since 1824 – and hopes to be a leader far into the future.”
