The theme of the 21st annual event was based on Marcus Pfister’s children’s classic, The Rainbow Fish. The event raised more than $1.5 million for pediatric care.
The Taylors have deep ties to MassGeneral Hospital. James was born there and his father, Isaac, completed his residency in internal medicine, served as chief resident and conducted research at the MGH. Kim has served on the board of the MassGeneral Hospital for Children for the past five years.
