Strikes for Tykes - Annual Laffey Bowl-a-Thon for Babes

Favorite

1490043426GREENVALE, NY - Today, Laffey Real Estate announced the 2017 date for the annual fundraiser to benefit EasterSealsNY and The Viscardi Center, two organizations that work tirelessly to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities. 

Planning is underway for the largest of the annual fundraisers.   The date is set for Thursday, April 20th at Dave and Busters’ Westbury location. 

Specific details on personal and corporate sponsorships will be made available shortly.  As always, the fundraiser is open to the families and businesses of the communities the firm has served for over the last four plus decades.   

Started in 2004 by Principal, Philip Laffey, the firm has raised over $150,000 directly benefitting EasterSealsNY.  These seasonal events have been outstanding successes, each with its own record-breaking results.  The fundraisers include Big Change for a Change, The Bowl-a-Thon, Jones Beach Walk, Coat & Canned Food Drive and the Easter Sealed with a Gift Holiday Toy Drive.  In total, these efforts have raised cash proceeds in addition to over 5,000 toys, 4,000 winter outerwear items and a ton of canned or non-perishable food items combined.  Every cent or item collected directly benefits the children and families of the school.

More recently, with the appointment of Mark T. Laffey to The Viscardi Center Board of Directors, Laffey Real Estate has endeavored to support the good work of the non-for-profit Albertson based organization. 

The Firm is inviting local business owners and individuals the opportunity to participate in the fundraising event. There are corporate and lane sponsorships still available.   In addition, donations of themed baskets, gift cards and other items are also appreciated.  In prior years, prizes included Mets, Ducks, Yankees & Islanders Tickets, Dining Gift Certificates, electronics, baskets of cheer, food & gift baskets, spa certificates and much, much more! All of the proceeds collected from the donated raffles go directly to the two organizations which help to underwrite the cost of special equipment, tools, assistive technology, computers/software and supplies utilized by the children and adults they serve.
