Fun events kids will remember forever, proms at hospitals for kids with cancer, Memorial garden for St Mary's Children's Hospital. Great group led by president Fran Petito and their board. 5 star charity.
New York Sportscene Children's Foundation is an amazing organization. I am lucky enough to be a part of this foundation for 6 years. It is an honor to be a part of this foundation. We truly give from our hearts and are always there to lend a helping hand. This foundation provides resources to children and Veterans. We provide these individuals with resources by holding special events throughout the year, we hold food and pet food drives as well. We will continue to work as a board and come up with ideas to reach all in need during this upcoming holiday season. We will be doing various things to bring a smile to people's faces and a little joy to their hearts.
Hi! My name is Monica Price and I was introduced to the New York Sportscene Children’s Foundation when my daughter was looking to get involved in community service where she could give back to young people in need. At the time, she was 12 years old and I knew that this organization would be a great match for her, as it was local, benefitted youth and held various events each year, where she could actively participate and actually see the rewards of her work. Now, 5 years later, my daughter Olivia, couldn’t be more grateful for her experiences with the NYSCF!
Every year founder Mike Cutino and Board President, Fran Pettito pour their hearts and souls into making bigger and better impacts on the individuals they serve and on the team that they created to help them carry out their mission. That team includes Volunteer Board Members and their Teen Ambassadors. One of which is my daughter, Olivia. Olivia has grown in this role by learning about how non-profits run, how they achieve their goals and how their impact changes lives for the better. She has been involved in huge Christmas/Holiday Parties for children who otherwise wouldn’t receive a gift, yet danced, met Santa and got toys because of the NYSCF Christmas events. She has distributed clothes, coats, books and baby supplies to families in need at a number of Open House giveaways. Their yearly Celebrity Sports Golf Fundraiser has shown Olivia how those with the heart and means come together to donate and help those less fortunate. Countless other events over the years have also opened her eyes to the good that can come from coming together, being creative, reaching out to people who are experiencing challenges and to those who have solutions. We both have a deep love for the mission of the NYSCF and we know that all those who have been helped by their efforts, would say the same. The NYSCF is a phenomenal organization, deserving of recognition for the great work that they do! They go above and beyond not just for children and not just in NY. They encompass a wide variety of events, locations, needs, donors and gifts/proceeds. It is truly a philanthropic entity without boundaries! A great nonprofit that we are privileged to be a part of as volunteers, donors and a Teen Ambassador to their Board!

Special events, food drives and clothing for Veterans and Seniors provide for the Forgotten. We're Blessed to serve those in need, to provide a respite from life issues that stress families and communities.
New York Sportscene Childrens Foundation ROCKS!!! On more than one occasion I have witnessed this amazing organization rally together to make sure kids get what they need. They throw parties for terminally ill children, dedicate memorial gardens for families that have lost children and bring Santa to childrens hospitals to make sure they have the incredible experiences that they deserve. I wish i could dedicate all my time to helping. They bring joy to those in need and the people who get to be a part of the experience.
New York Sportscene Childrens Foundation has had a profound affect on me. I joined this wonderful organization about two years ago. When I first began I was astonished by all the wonderful work they do. Not just helping local children in need but also offering assistance to Veterans. They work tirelessly to raise funds to help in everyway possible. I am blessed and thrilled to be part of such a giving and kind group of individuals all working together to make a difference.
