Annual Chili's Give Back 2017

Another Chili's Give Back Success!

Thank you to everyone who came out on Wednesday, April 5th to support our annual event at Chili's Restaurant in Atlas Mall, Middle Village area of New York.

There were many familiar faces and plenty of new ones throughout the day.   Again, thank you for the support.  This year's totals are yet to be announced but please take note we received $50 donated by a couple of supporters, who were unable to come out that evening.  Thank you!

We had our annual Chili's Selfie Challenge and selected our winner.

The Henschke Family! 

This is not the first time they are winners as their little ones won a couple of years ago.   This time the selection was based on the large outcome.  This family has lots of love to share.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you to Our Special Lil' Guy

For a couple of years, our Nicolas started generously donating part of his birthday money to charities of his choice, most of the time our organization.   When we asked this year Nicolas 'who do you want to donate to?', he thought about it for a split second and made a firm decision.

Truly, if it was up to him his whole birthday money would have been evenly distributed to all in need. Have a giving and loving heart is truly what any parent strives for but a very grateful child is far more rewarding than anything else.   Nicolas says he blessed and we all believe he is.

This is indeed a lesson for all in giving and being grateful, especially during this period of Lent.  

A portion ($250) was not only donated to our organization, his cousin's memorial scholarship, but another percentage was donated to his school, Queen of the Rosary Catholic Academy, for needed equipment.  He says the money will be used for a good cause and trusts that it will directly help kids simply striving to obtain a good education.  We love you Nicolas!!! You are truly phenomenal as you say you are!

Thank you Nicolas and Happy Blessed10th Birthday!

Scholar #7 Lisaul Diaz Update

My name is Lisaul Diaz and I am currently a junior at the University at Albany. I am currently an intended Biology major. 

I've been attending UAlbany for about five semester now and I've been a part of many organizations. First, I've been a part of the Living-Learning communities my freshman year of college, where I later chose to run and obtain a leadership position. 

Then, I decided to be a part of the mixed martial arts club at my university, where I continue to train and be a part of my university's community.

Now, I continue to pursue my academics and thanks to this scholarship, I am able to worry less about the financial burden that comes with college and also to able to focus more on my studies. As I come closer and closer to graduating college, I appreciate this scholarship more and more, and I am strongly grateful and thankful for that. 

I plan on graduating on May of 2018 with a bachelor's in Biology.
