Support Long Island Seniors This Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a global day of charitable giving, when people are encouraged to give back to their communities and support causes they care about.
This year, Gurwin Healthcare System invites you to support the many creative therapy programs provided for the hundreds of frail, elderly and medically complex Long Islanders who depend on Gurwin for their care.
Art therapy, guided by Gurwin’s certified therapeutic recreation specialists, helps our residents express emotions, tell their unique stories as well as forge meaningful connections with others. Studies also show it is beneficial modality for boosting self-esteem, and has the potential to delay early cognitive deterioration, depression and social isolation in older adults.
As a not-for-profit, we rely on contributions to help support the vibrant programs and activities to help bring joy to our residents throughout the System, from our award-winning nursing and rehabilitation center on our Commack campus and Holtsville location, to our assisted living community, and our adult day care programs.
With your support, we aim to raise $5,000 for essential art supplies. Your donation will enable us to purchase paints, brushes, canvases and other materials to inspire creativity among our residents. Every dollar counts, and your generosity can help to provide a creative outlet for our residents.
Together, we can create moments of joy and connection for those at Gurwin Healthcare System. Thank you for considering a gift that will make a lasting impact, and please share this Giving Tuesday appeal with your friends and family!
