Plainview retailer Sugar Crazy recently made a generous $5,000 donation to the Family and Children’s Association (FCA) Rise Up campaign in support of FCA’s programs for runaway & homeless youth. Through an integrated network of services and counseling, FCA provides help and hope to under-served and disadvantaged individuals struggling to build better lives.

“Long Island businesses like Sugar Crazy are a critical source of support for programs that directly help vulnerable and at-risk Long Islanders of all ages,” said Craig L. Pinto, Vice President & Chief Development Officer for FCA. “Our Rise Up campaign raises money for our shelters and programs for runaway and homeless youth; other programs provide services to seniors and people of all ages with mental health challenges.”

FCA is a not-for-profit agency helping more than 30,000 Long Islanders each year. For the last 137 years, the organization has worked to protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families and communities on Long Island.
