Springbrook raises over $200,000 through Day of Giving
BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – A local organization that provides services to those with developmental disabilities, raised over $200,000 with its Day of Giving fundraiser.
Springbrook held a 24-hour fundraiser last month, with the goal of raising $100, campaign ended up raising $200,000 with help from a dollar-for-dollar match from the organization's board president.
CEO Patricia Kennedy says the money raised goes to fund activities and trips for the people in their programs.
She says some of the money will fund playground upgrades for Springbrook's Kids Unlimited Preschool.
Kennedy says in the past, they've taken bus trips to see Yankees games, or shows on Broadway.
'I had one young woman look at me and say, this was my dream. To come to New York City, to see Lion King, to be at the Hard Rock. So, those extra things that make life exciting, and fun, and things to look forward to, we're gonna be able to fund that to a much larger degree than we have,' says Kennedy.
Kennedy says, just as important as the money raised during the event, was spreading awareness about the group and what it does.
