Ongoing and Annual Fundraising Events
Bingo - Bingo is, by far, the largest source of fund raising for Suffolk
AHRC -- and the one which is most dependent upon volunteers. The NYS
Commission of Waging and Racing, which licenses charity Bingo Games,
mandates that Bingo be operated by volunteers. Parents are strongly
urged to commit one night a month as a bingo volunteer. AHRC operates
games each Friday, and once a month on Saturday, at a Bingo Hall on
Route 110 in Melville.
Candlelight Ball - AHRC's annual dinner-dance attracts over 300
people: volunteers, members, and individuals from Long Island's
corporate and banking communities. Corporate sponsorship and the sale
of advertising in the Ball's commemorative journal account for much of
the money raised from this event. Family involvement is encouraged,
particularly in the sale of journal ads. Through an incentive plan, the
families of AHRC's program participants earn tickets to the ball by selling
journal advertising and tickets to the Ball.
Gift Shop - Located in the Bohemia and Annex facilities, these
volunteer- operated shops offer inexpensive gifts, sundries, and greeting
cards. The shops are convenient for staff and offer program participants
the opportunity to shop for appropriate merchandise. Volunteers are
needed as sales help.
Golf tournament - Held in June, this annual event is promoted to the
business community, although families are invited to participate both in
the tournament and/or the dinner.
Holiday Crafts Fair - A popular winter holiday event, the Holiday Crafts
Fair features arts and crafts, and ceramics created by AHRC program
participants, as well as handcrafted and home baked items donated by
AHRC family members. Holiday Fairs are held at most AHRC day
program sites, with the fair at Bohemia open to the public as well.
Raffles - Various raffles are offered throughout the year to supplement
ongoing and annual fundraising events.
