Published

on

West Nyack, NY – September 2023. Palisades Center is excited to announce its partnership with All In Adventures, a renowned provider of interactive and immersive escape room experiences, for this year’s Back-to-School Supply Drive to support local students and families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. This collaborative effort underscores both organizations’ commitment to community engagement and social responsibility.

Visitors to Palisades Center can support the Back-to-School Supply Drive through the end of September. Donations of new school supplies, such as backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, and other essentials, are being collected at the designated drop-off point at All In Adventures Mystery Room on Level Three. All collected supplies will then be distributed to local schools, ensuring that children have the tools they need to succeed in the classroom this year.

Palisades Center and All In Adventures invite the community to join them in this collaborative effort to support education and uplift local families. Every contribution will make a difference. As an added incentive, All In Adventures is giving away a $5 All in Adventures gift card for every five items donated.

Proyecto Faro Holds Walkathon on October 15 in Stony Point to Support Immigrants

Published

on

STONY POINT, NY – Proyecto Faro (PF) is hosting a walkathon on Sunday, October 15 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Stony Point Center in Stony Point, NY. All are welcome. The goal is to raise much needed funds to support PF’s programs, including their legal clinic, food program (which includes a distribution and 3 community refrigerators), free store, and their community organizing work fighting for educational justice in East Ramapo and a safe and welcoming community for immigrants. They invite all who are interested to walk in solidarity with Rockland’s immigrants and those yet to come, who have had to leave their home countries and take long journeys, often on foot, through harrowing conditions, to rebuild their lives. PF aims to raise $20,000 through this event.

Proyecto Faro invites interested walkers to get registered at go.rallyup.com/pf-walkathon.Registration is $15. Walkers can participate as individuals or create a team, raising funds among their personal networks. The walkathon, done in 1/2 mile loops around the beautiful retreat centers campus, will include a collectively constructed timeline of Rockland’s immigration history, T-shirts, prizes, music, and more. In addition to walkers, PF is also looking for sponsors at various levels whose names will be included in promotional materials and on social media, and who cantable at the event.

In addition to all of the hard work immigrants do in Rockland, they also enrich the county with their culture, skills, and new perspectives. However, they experience tremendous discrimination and are denied needed resources. PF was founded in 2017 to fill in the gaps, advocate, and provide leadership development and engagement opportunities for immigrants to come up with solutions to their challenges, build power, and work toward structural change. PF asks all
community members who care about social justice to put their support into action so they can continue this work.

PF plans to use the day to celebrate what they’ve built in the past 6 years and provide the space for Rockland residents to show their commitment to justice and pluralism in the county. Interested Rocklanders can learn more about the event by checking out go.rallyup.com/pf-walkathon, visiting PF’s website, proyectofarorockland.org, emailing the group at [email protected], or calling (845) 262-9586.
