Helping Those Living With HIV/AIDS

In an effort to continue the support they provide to those living with human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome, Thursday's Child, a non-profit organization based in Patchogue, is holding a private luncheon benefit on October 7, from noon to 4 p.m., at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead.


The organization also is asking all residents to participate in Macy's "Shop For A Cause" on October 13. This event, which costs $5 per person, raises funds and awareness for many charities throughout the country. According to Gregory Noone, program manager for Thursday's Child, the organization is in need of support more than ever, as recent changes made by Congress in 2006 resulted in a loss of more than $1 million in funding this year for charitable organizations in the Nassau/Suffolk region. read more
