On November 14, the Family & Children’s Association (FCA) held its annual Fall Harvest Celebration at The Heritage Club in Bethpage, bringing together supporters and partners to honor the organization’s critical work in serving vulnerable populations across Long Island. The event highlighted FCA’s dedication to addressing pressing issues, from food insecurity to mental health services, and raised vital funds to sustain its life-changing programs.
As a key sponsor, Sands New York underscored its deep-rooted commitment to partnering with FCA in strengthening the Long Island community. Earlier this year, Sands announced a $200,000 donation to expand FCA’s offerings, enabling the organization to broaden its reach and address gaps in essential services. This ongoing collaboration reflects a shared vision of fostering stability, opportunity, and hope for residents in need.
“Sands New York has been proud to support the Family & Children’s Association and their tireless work to improve lives across Long Island,” said Tracey Edwards, Senior Vice President and Corporate Social Responsibility Officer for Sands New York. “This celebration is a testament to the power of community-driven solutions and the incredible impact we can make together.”
The Fall Harvest Celebration featured inspiring stories from those directly impacted by FCA’s programs, reinforcing the importance of collective action in tackling challenges like poverty, addiction, and access to healthcare. The evening was a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of Long Islanders—and of the transformative potential of strategic partnerships like the one between FCA and Sands New York.
