Thank you for participating in the DOVE CHOCOLATE FUNDRAISER. We are happy to report that we raised $225 from this initiative. If you've placed an order, please be assured that you will receive your chocolates in time for Valentine's Day! Thank You also for buying hearts for Valentine's Day to raise money for the prom! We are so grateful for your support!
We are excited to announce that the Richard J. O'Brien Foundation will be presenting us with a check in the amount of $25,000 later on this month. The Richard J. O'Brien Foundation honors the memory of Rich O'Brien, who passed away in September 2010. Throughout his life, Rich was actively involved in helping NIS and other non-profit organizations that help children across Long Island, so his family and friends pulled together to form a foundation to continue his generous work in his memory. NIS has been a proud recipient of the funds raised at the Richard J. O'Brien Golf Outings for the past few years, and we are excited to announce that we have once again been chosen as a recipient of a portion of the funds raised at the 2014 Outing. We are so grateful for their continued support of our school and look forward to showing them the playground we were able to build in Rich's memory with their donations.
Please mark your calendars with all of the exciting events we have planned in the coming months. We hope to see you at Imaginations at Play over February break, IGHL for the Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner in March, Shorefront Park at our Walk-A-Thon & Family Fun Day in April, and our Golf Outing in June. We are still looking for vendors, medical practitioners, sponsors and volunteers. We are also always in need of items to be raffled off at our events. Contact Susan Cali, Director of Development, at 631-924-5583, ext. 128 or [email protected] for more information.
