Sandy Hook Family are Winners of Fresh Air Fund Photo Contest

Press release:

Sandy Hook residents, the Good family, 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.”

The Good family’s photo was determined the winner in the “Laketime Fun” category, and features Fresh Air visitor, Tyleif, age 13, tubing with family friend Cam on Candlewood Lake in Connecticut. “This was Tylief’s third year back with us. He really does feel like an extended part of our family. It is fun watching him grow up and getting to be part of his journey. The week he visits feels like vacation for us because we have so much fun,” said Jennifer Good 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 Marie Athans at 203-470-5694 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.
