Supporting The Fresh Air Fund

Silver SOAKS is proud to be supporting The Fresh Air Fund and its mission throughout the month of July. 10% of every purchase made will be donated to the organization to support their goal of giving children in low-income New York City communities an unforgettable summer!

The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Each summer, thousands of children visit volunteer host families in rural and suburban communities along the East Coast and Southern Canada or attend six Fresh Air camps in New York’s MidHudson Valley. Young people also participate in year-round leadership and educational programs.

Fresh Air boys and girls visit volunteer host families for one-or two-week visits in rural, suburban and small-town communities along the East Coast and Southern Canada. Children learn to swim, pick blueberries, build sandcastles
on the beach, ride bikes, and discover the wonders of the nighttime sky. Many Fresh Air children are re-invited to stay with the same host family year after year and form friendships that last a lifetime.

Five of The Fresh Air Fund’s camping programs take place year-round on The Fund’s Sharpe Reservation, which has over 2,000 acres of wilderness property, in Fishkill, NY, 65 miles north of New York City. Each summer, over 3,000 New York City children learn and grow through immersive outdoor experiences. For two weeks, campers swim and row boats on the lake, stargaze, hike nature trails and learn about animals and where their food comes from at the camp farm and nutrition center. Campers return home with more confidence, new skills and
new friends.

10% of each sale made in July is being donated to The Fresh Air Fund so they continue to provide children with experiences they otherwise would not have access to. We hope you choose to make a purchase this month to show your support to a fantastic foundation!
