Summer Together is possible because of our tireless unpaid volunteers, a host of generous individual donations and a grant from the Peter & Jeri Dejana Foundation. We also are grateful for the support of the Ellen and Richard Fox Charitable Fund, the Kiwanis Club of Manhasset-Port Washington, and the St. Stephen's Church parish community.

Thank you all for your generosity!

We worked with our community advisors (Parent Resource Center, Our Lady of Fatima, St. Peter's, and the Port Washington Public Library), as well as with guidance counselors at the elementary schools and Weber Middle School, to identify and fund 90 children to attend two weeks at local day camps. The participating camps were Bach To Rock, Camp Invention, FAST Sports Camp at PAL, Language Anywhere, PYA, Science Museum of Long Island, and Unlimited Sports Action. We are grateful for the participation of these wonderful camps.

The children greatly enjoyed their camp experiences with their peers, with one parent writing: "Thousands and thousands of thanks for the beautiful experience that my daughter had at camp. It was a blessing that her summer was more fun! Thanks to everyone who made her summer better. There are not enough words to express our gratitude." Please see photos below.

We also are happy to report on results from the fee-reduction program for income-eligible families at Manorhaven Pool, which came about because of a proposal presented by Summer Together to TONH Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte. Thanks to Mariann, qualified families can obtain a seasonal pass at a 60% reduced price. We believe this is the first program of its kind on Long Island.  This summer, 195 families participated (up from 158 last summer).

Your support of Summer Together is making a big difference in the lives of local families.

Thank you!
