Rye Brook's Danny Sarch Joins “Experience Camps” Board

Rye Brook, N.Y. resident Danny Sarch has joined the Board of Directors of Experience Camps, a national non-profit organization that provides free, one-week camps for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. When he's not helping Experience Camps transform the lives of grieving children, Danny serves as president of Leitner Sarch Consultants, Ltd., his own executive search firm that specializes in the wealth management industry, based in White Plains, N.Y.

“Experience Camps does an amazing job of bringing grieving children together for one week not only so they know that they are not alone, but so they can have an amazing summer camp experience,” said Danny. “I am excited and honored to be part of an amazing organization so dedicated, talented, and driven to bring their ‘best week of the year’ to as many children as possible.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 1.5 million children are living in a single-family household because of the death of one parent. Grieving children are at higher risk than their non-grieving peers for depression, anxiety, poor school attendance or dropping out, isolation, behavior problems, lowered academic achievement, drug and/or alcohol abuse, incarceration or suicide. Experience Camps Help.

In addition to his role at Leitner Sarch Consultants, Ltd., Danny is an active member, a former president, and an Honorary Lifetime Member of The Pinnacle Society (www.pinnaclesociety.org), a national honor society for 80 of the country’s top executive search professionals. Danny is an avid cyclist and skier, and a passionate fundraiser for cancer causes.

Danny graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984 with a degree in English Literature. Danny resides in Rye Brook, NY with his wife and two daughters.

About Experience Camps

Experience Camps are free one-week camps for boys and girls who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. It's a place where kids can laugh, cry, play, create, remember the person who died, or forget the grief that weighs them down. It's a place where they can feel "normal", because everyone there has been through something similar and understands what it's like to lose someone important to them. In 2019, Experience Camps will have more than 700 campers at camps in Maine, California, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
