No-Cost Camp Provides Fun Environment for Children Battling Cancer
(Melville – New York) For the fourth year in a row, the Plumbing Contractors Association of Long Island (PCALI) proudly sponsored a pizza lunch for the campers and staff at Sunrise Day Camp, a no-cost summer camp for children battling cancer and their siblings.
This year’s lunch, which fed several hundred campers and 200 staff members, was held during one of the most anticipated events of the summer Color War, a spirited tradition that brings joy, energy, and friendly competition to the camp community.
Sunrise Day Camp provides a much-needed escape for children facing serious health challenges, allowing them and their siblings to enjoy the fun of summer in a supervised, emotionally supportive environment all free of charge. The camp is a sanctuary for healing, laughter, and connection.
The Plumbing Contractors Association of Long Island has remained a proud supporter of this mission, with long-time PCALI member Larry Levine of Par Plumbing playing an instrumental role in fostering the relationship between PCALI and Sunrise Day Camp over the years.
Jeff Connelly, President of PCALI, shared his thoughts on the organization’s ongoing commitment: “It’s an incredible privilege to support Sunrise Day Camp and the amazing kids who attend. Seeing their smiles and energy reminds us why we do this year after year. We’re honored to play even a small part in helping these kids just be kids.”
Deborah Lom of Sunrise Day Camp says, “We are grateful for the support that PCALI gives to Sunrise and the Levine Golf Classic. It’s because of supporters like you that Sunrise can continue providing free-of-charge summer and year-round programming to as many children with cancer and their siblings as we are this year.”
PCALI is deeply grateful to Sunrise Day Camp for the opportunity to give back and looks forward to continuing this meaningful tradition for years to come.
