NEW YORK, NY – The Whiteweld Foundation is hard at work planning, sponsoring and participating in altruistic events. As always, a portion of their net proceeds are distributed directly to charitable organizations dedicated to protecting and nurturing children everywhere. During the summer months, The Whiteweld Foundation donated $5,000 to the New York Therapeutic Riding Center and $5,000 to Project Kids Worldwide. The New York Therapeutic Riding Center (NYTRC) helps adults and children with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. While learning to become good riders they acquire the skills needed to accomplish their rehabilitation objectives. The NYTRC serves people living in the five boroughs. They also accept referrals. For more information about NYTRC call 212-535-3917.

Project Kids Worldwide works in conjunction with international social agencies and organizations in locating children with congenital and acquired heart disease in underserved areas across the globe. The children are then brought to the United States for life saving surgery and the opportunity to enhance and enrich their lives.

In addition, The Whiteweld Foundation supported the Centuria Tour de Fort Lee bicycle ride in September. The Centuria Tour de Fort Lee was a 12-mile bike tour though historic Fort Lee. All the money raised went directly to the Fort Lee Education Foundation. Centuria Corporation, a member of the Whiteweld family of companies hosted this special event.
