Dine Out For Charity: Lions Donation To STEM Co-Op Summer Camp

MAMARONECK, NY — The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions Club teamed up with the Sedona Taphouse’s Mondays Dine Out for Charity in May to support the STEM Co-op Summer Enrichment Camp.

The camp is the local area's only summer camp for low-income children. Co-Op is a Mamaroneck School District program that is led by the STEM Alliance with support from the Town and Village of Mamaroneck.

Every month on every Monday, Sedona donates $2 per steak lunch & dinner to a local service group or project. To encourage support, they offer their $18 steak meal for only $10. In May, Sedona raised $1470, to which the Lions contributed $1000, making the combined total donated $2470.

The STEM Alliance’s mission is to create a network of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) learning opportunities, with an emphasis on reaching underserved populations, including girls and low-income students. Established more than 55 years ago, Co-Op Summer Enrichment provides 6 weeks of academic and recreational experiences for over 230 students from all 4 Mamaroneck School District elementary schools and over 20 Leaders in Training from Hommocks Middle School.

The program serves mostly families who cannot afford to attend other local summer programs. The program also employs and mentors a diverse group of local teenagers to promote leadership and employment opportunities.
