Each year, our charity awards college scholarships to students graduating from high schools such as the Henry Viscardi School, part of the National Center for Disability Services.
Our kids attend New York University, Adelphi, New York Institute of Technology, Hofstra, St. John's, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and many others.
We are most proud of this program because without our financial support these children would be unable to attend college. This year alone we will invest $120,000 in college scholarships. While the children are all physically challenged, their minds work fine and through education they are able to compete on an equal level with their fellow students.
