1,000 Attend SunriseWALKS Staten Island and Raise $300K

June 29, 2022

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — They turned their miles into charity.

The Joan & Alan Bernikow Jewish Community Center hosted SunriseWALKS, the proceeds of which are earmarked for the Lucille & Jay Chazanoff Sunrise Day Camp-Staten Island, a free camp for children with cancer and their siblings.

This year’s SunriseWALKS, presented by Home Team Mortgage, was staged at Staten Island University Hospital “Community Park,” home of the Staten Island FerryHawks. The event raised nearly $300,000.

Orit Lender, CEO of the JCC, said, “I want to thank all of our supporters for making this possible for our campers. It is thanks to our donors and sponsors that we can bring joy and fun back into these children’s lives. We get to see the impact you have all summer when we see our campers smiling and having fun. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for your support of our kids.”
