Hello,
please join me in giving back to our community by giving to
Pintel For The Homeless.

Pintel For The Homeless is a charitable organization I started in
2011 to help homeless families and children in the New York area. My charity
hosts “once-in-a-lifetime” feel-good events for the homeless, featuring sports
celebrities like New York Jets’ Joe Klecko and New York Giants’ Carl Banks, who
graciously spend time with them, taking pictures and signing autographs. In
partnership with Pizzeria Uno and the faculty, staff and students of Briarcliffe
College, we’ve raised funds for housing and job training through “Dollars for
Dough” raisers and Walk-A-Thons. My charity also provides free dinners at local
restaurants during the holidays to homeless children and adults staying at the
Coachman Family Center, bringing smiles to their faces and letting them know
that people in their community care.

Why did I start this charity? My family has always believed in
the importance of giving back and I’ve followed in their footsteps. My lifelong
commitment to making my community a better place was engrained in me by my
parents, Shirley and Paul Pintel, who opened a nursery school at the Fair Lawn
Jewish Center in New Jersey that is now named after them, and by my
grandparents, who started Halpern and Pintel Realtors in the 1930s in New York,
hiring African-Americans to important positions in their firm, well ahead of the
Civil Rights movement.

In addition to my charity, I am an active volunteer at United
Cerebral Palsy in Hauppauge, New York, reading to patients of the day-treatment
program every week. Previously, I volunteered with the Jewish Board of Family
and Children’s Services for 10 years as a Big Brother, working with the same
child from age 6 to 16, and as a Wish Granter for the Make A Wish Foundation for
more than five years.

I also contribute to several other charitable organizations. My work with the
Lupus Foundation of America has led to funding a project to experiment with new
medication to cure this disease. I created a scholarship with Memorial Sloan
Kettering Hospital to provide funding for children with cancer. And I am
actively working with the town of Newtown, Connecticut to build a playground in
memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook community.

Sincerely,

Marc Pintel
