Schneps Media Donates To
BRONX YMCA
BY PATRICK ROCCHIO
The Schneps Media family raised money
to support a worthy cause: the borough’s
youth.
Victoria Schneps, president and publisher
of Schneps Media, the parent company
of the Bronx Times Reporter, visited
the Bronx YMCA on Friday, July 12 to present
a $1,600 donation to the Y’s summer
youth camp programming.
The funds were raised at the annual
Bronx Times’ Bronx Power Women in Business
awards raffl e, which took place in
June.
Schneps stated it was her treat to visit
the Bronx YMCA to present them with a
check to help them further their programs
for children.
“The $1,600 raised at our Bronx Power
Women event I know will have a great impact
because of the powerful work of the
YMCA,” said Schneps. “We are delighted to
help them in their mission to serve the community,
as is our community media group.“
Joining Schneps in making the gift to
support the Y’s summer camp was Bronx
Times publisher Laura Guerriero.
“When asked by Victoria Schneps, owner
of the Schneps Media and the Bronx Times
Reporter, what organization I would like
to donate the proceeds of the Bronx Power
Women in Business raffl e to, I immediately
thought of the Bronx YMCA,” said Guerriero.
“I have served on the Bronx YMCA
Board Managers for several years mainly
because this organization truly enhances
the lives of our Bronx children.”
Guerriero said that generous donation
will “enable one or more Bronx children
to experience summer camp at the Bronx
YMCA.”
Sharlene Brown, executive director of
the Bronx YMCA, said that the donated
funds would be used to provide scholarships
for children to attend summer camp
programming at the YMCA, which is located
at 2 Castle Hill Avenue.
Brown said she thanked Schneps Media
and said that the children met with its president
to express their gratitude and present
her with cards they had made.
The ages of summer camp youth run
from four-years-old to 16-years-old, and
many camps are geared towards different
themes such as swimming, teen and science
camps, said Brown.
There is also camp programming for
children with special needs, she said.
“Camps keep kids engaged in physical
activities, improve academics, and enhance
social and emotional skills,” said Brown.
“Every day they learn something new and
have fun.”
One of the most important aspects of
the Bronx YMCA’s summer camp programming
is aquatic safety, with the executive
director noting that every time a camper
gets into the facility’s pool, a swimming lesson
that enhances both skill and self-esteem
is part of that experience.
“Children get in the pool at least twice
a week, (and) every time a child gets in the
pool, there are lessons,” said Brown.
Summer camp, typically offered at twoweek
intervals, cost $450 per child.
“This is crucial at this time because
children need a safe place to be in the summer,”
she said. “It keeps them off the street
and places them in an environment where
they are learning and growing.”
