LM Lions & Sedona Taphouse Raise Thousands For Co-Op Summer Enrichment

LARCHMONT/MAMARONECK, NY — The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions Club teamed up with the Sedona Taphouse’s Mondays Dine Out for Charity in June to support The STEM Alliance/Mamaroneck UFSD Co-Op Summer Enrichment Program.

Co-Op Summer Enrichment provides up to five weeks of academic and summer recreational experiences for over 250 Mamaroneck School District students. The program offers quality STEM learning opportunities and summer fun for children from low-income families who typically experience "Summer Slide," the loss of academic skills and knowledge during the summer months. Co-Op also employs and mentors a diverse group of local teenagers to promote leadership and employment opportunities.

Sedona dedicates a full month of Mondays throughout the year to support local charities and service groups. In June, Sedona raised $1,438 in support of Co-Op. A joint effort between the LM lions and the NYS Brandel-Murphy Fund added an additional $3000, making the combined total donated $4,438.

The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions, celebrating their Centennial, focus on supporting existing non-profit and community service groups by bringing community service leaders together to determine needs, solutions and resources. The LM Lions are part of Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service organization with over 1.4 million members. As part of the Lions’ focus on Vision/Blindness as their signature cause, they will be making vision tests available to Co-Op families. Their other causes include Hunger, the Environment, Diabetes, Childhood Cancer and the future of our Youth. They are signatories of the United Nations resolutions on women’s and refugee rights and are currently active in Afghanistan and Ukrainian refugee resettlements. In addition, affordable housing is a local Lions priority.
