Suffolk Smiles 3rd Annual Holiday Toy Drive

This December, we delivered over 200 toys to local children in need and supported our charitable partners, NY Cancer & Blood Specialists/New York Cancer Foundation and Mondays Cancer Care. 

The gifts were contributed by credit union members and employees during the month-long ‘Suffolk Smiles’ toy drive, an annual tradition. The bounty of toys was distributed on December 15th, 2024, at Mondays Cancer Care in Sayville, NY.  

"We are beyond grateful for our members’ generosity during our 3rd Annual Suffolk Smiles Toy Drive,” said Laura Racioppi, VP Corporate and Community Partnerships, Suffolk Credit Union. “With help from New York Cancer Foundation, Mondays Cancer Care, and our members, we were able to bring smiles, laughter, and a little extra holiday magic to so many brave kids and their families." 

Cancer Care provides mind-body health, beauty and wellness services to women, men and young adults undergoing cancer treatment—all free of charge. Suffolk Credit Union adopted the organization’s charter Salon Be in BluePoint, providing support to cancer patients in the form of volunteers and extra resources. 

New York Cancer & Blood Specialists diagnose and treat every kind of cancer, offering patients state-of-the-art treatments, clinical trials and comprehensive support services. Its multidisciplinary team of physicians, surgeons, nutritionists, social workers and other health specialists work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits a patient’s needs throughout diagnosis, active treatment, remission and survivorship. 

Thank you for your support. Your generosity helped us spread holiday cheer to Long Island families facing immense challenges this year.
