On Friday, May 7, Edward Lynch, president of the Warwick Valley Rotary Club, and Wayne Patterson, a member of both the Warwick Valley Rotary Club and Team Up for Hope, presented a check to Team Up for Hope’s founder, Geoff Green.
Team Up for Hope supports local non-profit organizations which are at the forefront of mental health and drug use challenges within our communities.
The 501(c)(3) non-profit raises funds for these volunteer organizations, as well as awareness of the issues, resources, and support available, through a series of webinars.
It is currently teaming up for hope with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) affiliate chapters in both Orange and Sussex counties.
“I am truly grateful for this donation by the Warwick Rotary Club as the cause which Team Up for Hope represents is near and dear to my heart,” said Green. “To have my friends and colleagues of the Warwick Rotary supporting Team Up for Hope means the world to me. Thank you to all.”
Warwick Valley Rotary Club has had a very busy year overcoming COVID challenges.
“Doing Good and Having Fun’ is our club’s motto,” said Lynch. “This year, we have already raised well over $25,000 in pursuit of our $34,000 goal. Our Club membership lives up to its community service mission as ‘People of Action.’ I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved this year. Today, we presented a check of $500 to Team Up for Hope, a charity that educates its constituents about mental illness, which certainly is needed in these difficult times. Team Up for Hope is one of about 35 charities that our Rotary Club supports.”
