Always think of the Theresa Foundation first in terms of giving! 100% of your donations go to fulfilling our mission of helping children with special needs and their families.
3. Attend and Support the Theresa Awards Dinner. In fact, plan to bring a friend or two. It is a special evening and a great way to introduce others to our Foundation. We need committee members to help with the planning and implementation of the dinner. We also need contributions of silent auction items and/ or gift baskets. Items can be dropped off at the Theresa Foundation Office at 250 Lido Blvd. in Lido Beach, NY or contact us at 516-432-0200 to arrange a pick up. The Theresa Awards are typically the first Friday in May, but you can check our website for details.
