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 President and CEO Pintel For the Homeless |
