The Point Lookout Yacht Club (PLYC) holds an annual fundraiser to benefit the Long Island Toy Lending Center for Children with Disabilities (L.I.T.L.C.). In the past the event had been held during the summer at The Buoy Bar in Point Lookout. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, PLYC has moved its fundraising effort to a GoFundMe platform.

Please support L.I.T.L.C. by contributing to this essential service and help make this year’s GO FUND ME fundraising event as successful as our past live events.

The Long Island Toy Lending Center for Children with Disabilities (L.I.T.L.C) is a resource center which allows children with disabilities and their families to have fun and learn while providing the family with a support system. L.I.T.L.C is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit agency founded in 1986 that provides a unique learning and resource environment, teaching children through play, and counsels parents on using play to help their child. The Long Island Toy Lending Center focuses on the child’s ability, not on the disability and helps families see how their special child is like other children and that play is key to their development. The children and their family select specially adapted toys that can be borrowed monthly. It is these toys that are essential to this program that require an extensive financial budget each year. The Center is partially funded through a New York State grant from the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities and private foundations. The Center relies on fund raising events and people like you to cover the cost of running the program.

The Director, Colleen Moseman sees children with any kind of disability, from the mildly impaired to the severely impaired. The children range in age from birth to 13 years of age.

Presently the Center can serve 40 families from Long Island. Centers are located in Farmingdale Public Library serving centrally located families on Long Island and at the Town of Hempstead East Marina, 1501 Lido. Blvd. in Point Lookout.

Please show your support for this GoFundMe campaign to make a difference in the lives of children who benefit from services at L.I.TL.C.
