Farmingville, NY - On June 2, Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner participated in a presentation at Leisure Village where the Leisure Village Senior Club donated $11,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The event included attendees such as Gail Powell, Lil Nociforo, St. Jude Representative Stacy Bakker, Councilwoman Jane Bonner, Kathy Senatore, Ellen Fisher, and Donna Bram.
Councilwoman Bonner presented the club with an official Town Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of their fundraising efforts and contribution. The donation resulted from months of dedication and teamwork by the senior residents who aimed to support children battling cancer and other serious illnesses.
“It’s incredibly heartwarming to see the Leisure Village Senior Club come together for such an important cause,” said Councilwoman Bonner. “Their selflessness, community spirit, and generosity are truly inspiring, and I was honored to recognize their efforts on behalf of the Town of Brookhaven.”
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is recognized for its work in treating childhood cancer and other severe diseases. Donations like this ensure families do not receive bills for treatment or associated costs so they can focus on their child's recovery.
