Education. Fitness. Service.2011 Christmas Giveaway Program (Bronx,NY Elem. School) While the elementary school exposes students to methods that encourage academic excellence, it is still important to engage them in this philanthropic effort. Canty recalls why this initative is one that is so important, “This is more about letting the parents and children know that we care in this time of need. While we feel the students should be rewarded for their academic performance, we also want them to recognize that efforts like these are necessary because so many children we be left out during the holidays this year because due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy,” he shared.For more information on this Christmas Giveaway Program or to learn more about how you can support the Foundation’s efforts, please contact Joseph Canty, President/Chairman, via email at mailto:info@chriscantyfoundation.org or you may call 704-845-4601.
