Greenwich Residents Win The Fresh Air Fund's Annual Photo Contest

From The Fresh Air Fund.

Greenwich residents Midge Pappas and Charles Stuttig celebrated the pure joys of summer with The Fresh Air Fund and were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2014 Photo Contest.

All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada, reflecting the memorable experiences they shared with their New York City visitors this past summer. Categories include “Laketime Fun,” “Summer Siblings,” “By the Beach,” and “Fresh Air Foodies.”

Midge’s photo was determined the winner in the “Animals” category, and features Fresh Air visitor Nataly, age eight, holding an adorable bunny in Connecticut. “This summer, Nathaly learned to say please and thank you! Having no children of our own, we enjoyed doing all the kiddie things,” said Midge about her hosting experience.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child next summer, please contact Nicole Heath at 203-829-8196 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.
