Spin for Soldiers, Hawthorne NYSC
The New York Sports Club of Hawthorne, NY hosted a wonderful Spinathon on January 9, 2010, to help the Tower of Hope raise funds to offer expertly trained Service Dogs to severely wounded Combat Veterans from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. It was a great experience for the spinners, and together with our generous sponsors (see below) more than $5,000 was raised in just a few hours. The NYSCs have been actively partnering with the Tower of Hope since March, 2009, and we have added Hawthorne to our highly successful previous fundraisers in Somers and Croton. Shoprite has geneously supplied the refreshments for the participants, and are partners in future events as well. We are looking forward to our upcoming event in the beautiful Dobbs Ferry NYSC on January 23, and are planning other exciting events at other NYSC facilities around the tri-state are. Below are some fun photos from our exhilirating event.
