Woodmere Rehabilitation (WR&HCC) Will Participate in Red Nose Day

Woodmere, NY, May 20, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Residents and staff of WR&HCC will team up to fight child poverty by fundraising and participating in Red Nose Day. Red Nose Day will take place on Thursday, May 26th. This will be the second year that WR&HCC participates in this worthy cause. Last year, the fundraising total was 398 dollars. This amount helped 12 charity organizations combat poverty.

Again residents and staff will don their red noses to pose for pictures. Mr. Elie Pollak, Administrator of WR&HCC commented, “I am looking forward to this fun day where giving opens the door to making a difference.”

The Red Nose Brigade brought smiles and laughter to the residents and staff at the Facility. It was a day that brought awareness to people of the plight of children living in poverty through the power laughter. “Deeds of giving are the very foundations of the world.” Mishna, Pirkel Avot 1:2
