Cortlandt Family Wins Fresh Air Fund Photo Contest

A Cortlandt Manor family, the Healeys, were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2015 Photo Contest.

All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across the Northeast, 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 Healeys’ photos were determined the winners in “Host Families” and “Playground Fun” categories. They feature Fresh Air visitor, 6-year-old Silvia, relaxing with her host family and playing outdoors in New York with host sibling, Sarah.

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 Heather Stobin at 914-471-0373 or visit The Fresh Air Fund at www.freshair.org.
