Sports Equipment Drive for the Gerald J. Ryan Summer Camp in Wyandanch
In a further effort to support the incredible work they do, we are conducting a sports equipment and games drive for the Gerald J. Ryan Summer Camp in Wyandanch. The camp which has served the community for over 30 years, typically enrolls 100+ children, grades 1 – 6. This year due to covid and funding challenges, they are accepting 50 children, grades 3-6. The camp provides academic support along with creative and positive activities for children, many who would have no other option for summer fun.
The drive runs June 3rd - June 19th.
