From our Partner Organizations


Dear Game Changers NY
At KEEN New York we empower youth of all abilities by providing free one-to-one programs of exercise, fitness, and fun, led by volunteer coaches. In order to provide our activities free of charge, we depend on the generosity of amazing people and organizations like Game Changers New York. We were honored this year to receive a donation of sports equipment for our young Athletes to enjoy. This donation allowed us to offer our families a fun day in the sun on Randall’s Island for KEEN New York’s KEENBall Family Day. Thank you Game Changers New York for changing the game for Athletes of all abilities!”
Thank you,
Amanda

I first received a call from Sara Blau, in the winter of 2017, asking if my non for profit – Be The Best Sport – was in a need of sport equipment for our athletes(the athletes at Be The Best Sport are children, tweens and teens with special needs). Sara explained how her organization worked, how she gets the community and her peers involved and I was immediately impressed.  Sara is older than her years and should be considered a leader on our community.   As a non for profit we are always in search sports equipment that our participants can use during classes, now our athletes have soccer, basketball and footballs and can learn new skills.  Thank you Game Changers and Sara Blau.
Best regards,
Jackie Mandel

Dear Sara and the rest of Game Changers New York,

On behalf of the Mark and Kathryn Ford Family Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generous donation made on December 22, 2017. Through our many programs, youth and adults gain knowledge and essential skills that allow them to be agents of change in their families and community. With the commitment and support of like minded partners like you, we are able to help provide members of the Tola region these opportunities for growth. Thank you again for your generous support. The FunLimón team, Ford Family, and members of the local community here in Tola sincerely appreciate it.

Warm Regards,
Bismarck Rodriguez , Managing Director

Dear Game Changers,

On behalf of Children of Promise, NYC, I would like to thank you for your generous donation made in January 2019. At our headquarters in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Children of Promise, NYC serves more than 350 children and their families each year. Our innovative model was developed to address the specific emotional trauma that can be triggered by losing a parent to incarceration. Ten years later, CPNYC is still the only agency in NYC that co-locates a licensed mental health clinic with an after-school program and summer day camp, seamlessly providing access to therapeutic services and youth development all under one roof. Our work is made possible through support from incredible community partners like yourself! Thank you for the equipment you donated. It is used regularly during our After School Program and Saturday Resource Center. Your generous support has brought a smile to many faces!

Sincerely,
Tara DeWorsop
Director of Development & Communications
Children of Promise, NYC


Thank you again for supporting Etgarim and sending us the sports equipment. Your work and organization are absolutely wonderful! It is truly inspiring and heartwarming to see young people such as yourself leading society to a brighter future and giving to those in need.

After Sara initially contacted Etgarim and offered us a donation of sports equipment, I visited the Game Changers New York website to learn more about what you do and was amazed to see such a great organization run by young and inspiring people. Etgarim empowers and socially integrates people with disabilities in Israel through outdoor challenge sports. We integrate sports equipment such as balls and cones in our running and cycling groups’ activities and were extremely grateful and happy to receive the equipment donation from Game Changers. Thank you Sara and all involved for supporting Etgarim and making the world a better place!

Warm regards,

Dear Sara and Game Changers NY,

We love that you have a passion to help the special needs community like we do! Children on the spectrum often struggle to form strong social connections. The rackets and tennis balls you sent will help our campers learn a new sport while also putting a huge smile on their faces! Thank you for the equipment and all you do for the sports community. We at Serving Advantage think you and Game Changers NY are AWESOME!!

Sincerely,
