In 1982, Hineni Heritage Foundation first opened its doors in New York City. Today, the center, which was the first of it’s kind in the world, offers a comprehensive series of programs, including Torah, Talmud, Kabalah, Prophets, History, Rituals and Ceremonies in the home and synagogue, Hebrew language and Prayer, and one-on-one tutoring.

One of those charity organizations is the Long Island Children’s Museum (LICM) in Garden City, NY. The museum is home to 14 hands-on, interactive exhibit galleries, a 145-seat state-of-the-art theater and three classroom-size learning studios where visitors of all ages can explore freely for a few hours or even an entire day!

“The Children’s Museum is one of the best destinations to bring the family on Long Island,” Gregg says when asked about LICM. “It’s a new adventure every time you go.” Children will love the many fun hands-on activities, such as “Bricks & Sticks”, where kids and adults alike can create architectural masterpieces using blocks, sticks and connectors; or create a virtual space with an interactive software exhibit.

Gregg Marcus Supports: Sunrise Day Camp

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:
Besides being a Long Island Insurance Executive, Gregg S. Marcus finds time to assist charity organizations that are close to his heart. One of those organizations is the Sunrise Day Camp, where ‘children with cancer find a new beginning every day’. Sunrise Day Camp is the only dedicated day camp in the country for children battling cancer as well as their siblings. This place is more than just a day camp; it’s a world away from the harsh realities of doctors, hospitals and cancer treatments.

“I try to get there as much as possible during the summer,” Gregg Marcus says when asked about Sunrise Day Camp in Oceanside, NY. The camp, situated on 300+ acres just minutes from the Nassau / Suffolk border meets the emotional, social, recreational and physical needs of children with cancer while allowing them to enjoy the comfort and safety of their own home each night. The camp offers a full, multi-week summer camp activity program as well as year-round camp-like programs. Best of all, the camp is offered at no charge to all children being treated for cancer on a non-sectarian basis.
