Syosset HS Interact Club brings sunshine to camp

Rain did not stop the Syosset High School Interact Club as it raised $16,000 for Sunrise Day Camp.

Sunday, June 12th was raining but that didn’t stop Syosset and all campers and parents to support Sunrise Day Camp – the only summer day camp in the world for children with cancer and their siblings, where they get to go completely free of charge. The annual walk on Long Island brought in over $826,000!

Syosset High School’s Interact Club raised $16,000 for the walk, not including the numerous events and fundraisers we’ve hosted to raise money for sunrise. We hosted fundraisers at Ralph’s Ices and Chipotle, led a Zumba event at the high school where they raised $950, sold bagels and donuts from Doughology, tie dyed bandanas to be donated to each camper at Sunrise, participated in a video contest raising $1500, and countless more efforts to support Sunrise. 

I’m so excited to be the leader of Sunrise Day Camp fundraising as an Interact board member again next year and am so proud of all of our efforts this year! The rain did not stop us and we made it an amazing day supporting our favorite place!
