Bring Joy to Underprivileged Children with Anthony
I am writing to share my story and ask for your help in making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children on Long Island.

When I was just 6 months old, I underwent open-heart surgery. This early experience instilled in me a deep desire to give back to others. From a young age, I felt compelled to work and make a positive impact, which led me to start a toy drive to help those in need.

Today, I am reaching out to you with a special request. With your generous donation, we can make a real difference in the lives of underprivileged children on Long Island. Your support will help provide toys, resources, and opportunities to those who need them most.

Together, we can bring joy and hope to these children, just as I received support during my own challenging times. Every contribution, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact on a child's life.

Please support my collaboration with the John Theissen Children's Foundation by sharing a post on social media and using the hashtag #jtcfToyDrive2024.

If you wish to donate a physical gift, you can drop it off at the JTCF location in Wantagh and donate it within my name.

Thank you for considering this cause. Your kindness and generosity will help create brighter futures for the children in our community.

Kevin Hahn is fundraising
More Miles, More Smiles
My name is Kevin Hahn and this holiday season, I am raising money to benefit John Theissen Children’s Foundation. This non-profit helps sick and underprivileged children across Long Island through various programs throughout the year.

Upon discovering the first backyard ultramarathon would be taking place on Long Island, I felt compelled to participate for not just the singular objective of completing the challenge. I felt the desire to show up for not just myself, but for others.

After careful consideration and research, I inherently knew that the John Theissen Children’s Foundation was the organization I wanted to pursue in fundraising.

This local foundation has demonstrated commendable, dedication, and support for children who are disadvantaged or are battling an array of illnesses. I am in admiration of their mission, devotion, and regard for others, which reinforced my urge to contribute.

One of the most prominent values that has pivoted in my approach to life is the art of intention. When we apply this concept, we are living in the present moment. In doing so, we can utilize our energy in a way that is fulfilling and meaningful.

Running with a purpose provides us with the opportunity to connect with ourselves and the collective. It promotes empowerment, compassion and empathy in unison. I want to use my platform to promote and nurture awareness and mindfulness in my athletic endeavors, and overall performance.

There is no donation that it’s too little and each dollar that is contributed is so appreciated immensely. I have so much gratitude for all efforts invested in this project.

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, encouragement and generosity and helping me support this devoted cause.

John Theissen Children's Foundation new center

We are trying to raise funds to purchase items we need to make this center amazing for the children that we help!!

The Family Fun Center will be our brand-new headquarters and party center for the children. The main room in the center will be our Arcade Room, which will have over 15 arcade games for the children to play. The center will have a few sections besides the Arcade Room. We will have a section for arts and crafts along with a candy, ice cream and popcorn station. We will have a Movie Room as well, which will be equipped with a large movie screen and theater chairs. The new center will provide hours of fun for sick and underprivileged children and their siblings at no cost to the families. The center will be open year-round and seven days a week.

The Center will have a brand new Wish Room, which will be located downstairs and be stocked with new gifts year-round. Toys and gifts are displayed in the Wish Room to resemble a store.

We have a large parking lot in the back of the center and one in the front as well. The back parking lot allows us to have outdoor parties for the families as well. When we are not having parties at the center, we will hold all our drives and business operations as well.

This building has been a dream and goal of the foundation and we are very excited to start a new era at 1492 Wantagh Avenue. You can make a difference by donating today to our center campaign

The John Theissen Children's Foundation has been helping sick and underprivileged children in any capacity since 1992.
