On behalf of First Care of New York, we hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday as you prepare for a joyous celebration to ring in the New Year 2011. As you read in our last blog, First Care of New York has already begun planning for some of the major events we are going to be either hosting or participating in for 2011. Among them is The Hope & Possibilities walk/run event which takes place in New York City and will be held at Central Park in the Summer of 2011 (the exact date will be announced). First Care is proud to announce that we will be participating in the event while raising money that will be donated to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Over 6,000 people from the five boroughs as well as all over New York participated in the 5K walk/run.
This year we aim to surpass last year’s fundraiser total by announcing a very special raffle that everyone can participate in for a great cause, and to win great prizes. The raffle tickets cost only $10, and 100% of the proceeds will go towards donations for cancer research. If you wish to participate in the raffle or are interested in acquiring raffle tickets, you may ask for Rina at 718-741-5956.
First Care of New York aims to donate, time, money, effort and sweat to this event as several of our family members will participate in the actual 5 mile race. Many of our participants are the same people who provide our Live in Care, Personal Care, Home Health and Companionship services. The other members will be on the sidelines encouraging and cheering on their friends and family. The event will be one of many which will include our company in a variety of different functions and causes during 2011, we hope to have you join in and help us fulfill one of the many resolutions we have set for 2011. As always, we thank you and wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year!!!
