SBU Cares is still going strong after five years!
To celebrate our 150th anniversary, we launched this program in 2013. The idea was simple: Give $150 every week to a different local charitable cause. Causes would be nominated by the public and recipients chosen from among the nominations.
By 2014, the program had become such a success, we decided it should continue indefinitely. It turns out, there are many more worthy charitable causes in the Great Lakes Bay Region than there are weeks in a year.
As of today, we’re pleased to say that SBU has donated more than $40,000 to hundreds of different causes through this program, in addition to our other regular giving. We’re truly thrilled to be able to make such a difference for so many!
