Ginny Mariani-Kitt, John C. Kean to co-chair Huntington Hospital’s
HUNTINGTON, NY – Huntington Hospital’s
Outpacing the Impossible fundraising
campaign will be co-chaired by Castello Banfi
family proprietor Ginny Mariani-Kitt and Kean
Development Company CEO John C. Kean.
Northwell Health publicly launched its
seven-year, $1 billion system-wide campaign
in October, which supports capital projects,
improves hospitals and clinical programs,
advances research, and funds endowments for
teaching and research initiatives. Huntington
Hospital’s campaign will focus on growing
the hospital’s cancer services and its highlyregarded
orthopedics department, among
other areas.
A Lloyd Harbor resident, Mrs. Mariani-
Kitt is a member of the third generation of
family ownership of Castello Banfi, a Tuscan
vineyard estate, following her late father
Harry F. Mariani. She is the newest member
of Huntington Hospital’s board of trustees.
“As someone who grew up and raised my
family in the Huntington area, it gives me great
joy to co-chair this fundraising campaign and
help Huntington Hospital continue to provide
top-notch medical care to its community
members,” Mrs. Mariani-Kitt said. “Every
dollar raised through Huntington Hospital
benefits the hospital and its programs.”
Mr. Kean, a member of Huntington
Hospital’s board of trustees for a decade and
the Huntington Hospital Golf Classic honoree
in 2007 and 2014, as well as the event’s chair
since 2015, echoed those sentiments. “We
are very fortunate to have a comprehensive
medical center in our backyard and that is not
something that should be taken for granted,”
he said. “The hospital, which has served our
community for more than 100 years, needs our
help to maintain its high-quality programs
and services.”
Kean Development is an ultra-luxury, awardwinning,
design/development company that
offers residential and commercial architectural
design and construction. The multi-tiered
company has offices in Cold Spring Harbor,
the Hamptons and Palm Beach, FL.
“We greatly appreciate Ginny and John’s
willingness to lead our fundraising efforts
with the Outpacing the Impossible campaign,”
said Keith Friedlander, chair of Huntington
Hospital’s board of trustees. “We also
appreciate our donors’ generosity to date as
well as the generosity of new benefactors we
will reach with this campaign. We are proud
that U.S. News & World Report has named
Huntington Hospital the number one rated
community hospital in New York and we
remain committed to being the hospital of
choice for all Long Islanders.”
