It was a VIP event Wednesday at Sinai Hospital, in fact, the guest list was absolutely "super."

Young patients met some superheroes who wanted to wish them a speedy recovery.

Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman stopped by as part of the "Hope for Henry" Foundation which gives kids an emotional break from their illness.

Laurie Strongin and her husband started the foundation in memory of their son, Henry
who died at the age of 7 of Fanconi Anemia.

The Strongin family operates "Hope for Henry" in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and Philadelphia area hospitals.
