Fresh Air Fund PSA
June 16, 2009
I’d like to share with you a wonderful organization that contacted me during my hiatus called “The Fresh Air Fund“.
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
From now until June 30th, any gift given will be matched dollar-for-dollar, so it’s a great reason for you to donate!

What a great cause! Every kid deserves a summer vacation
Cool! Thanks for letting us know about it.
Neat; interesting cause. You don’t hear about too many things designed just to let kids have a little more fun (although it’s for their health too, I suppose).
Thanks so much for sharing! I will definitely watch at home when I have sound. Have a great day
