2016 ANNUAL REPORT Since 1877, more than 1.8 million children from New York City’s neediest communities have benefi ted from free summer experiences in the country through The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profi t organization. In 2016, nearly 7,000 children visited the homes of volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada, and enjoyed outdoor adventures and educational activities at one of our fi ve camps.

8 | 2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Report | 9 FRIENDLY TOWNS PROGRAM

In the summer of 1877, 60 New York City children embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. Leaving their homes and families on the Lower East Side, the children were on their way to visit volunteer host families in the country in Pennsylvania. The Reverend Willard Parsons, founder of The Fresh Air Fund, asked a simple question: “Would the same people be willing to take them again? When the time was over, they have kept the children longer, and asked them to come back another year.”

In 2016, nearly 4,000 volunteer host families opened their hearts and homes to Fresh Air children from low-income communities. For 140 years, the Friendly Towns Program has brought together people of different backgrounds and beliefs. Countless friendships have been forged and dreams realized as The Fresh Air Fund has redefined the meaning of friendships and family.

10 | 2016 Annual Report The Fresh Air Fund For one to two weeks in the summer, Fresh Air children visit over 300 Friendly Towns in rural and suburban communities along the East Coast and Southern Canada. Boys and girls, ages seven to 18, leave behind fast-paced city streets for new adventures in the outdoors. Fresh Air children smile and giggle, run barefoot in backyards, build sandcastles on the beach, ride bikes and gaze at the stars on moonlit nights.

Fresh Air children and volunteers form bonds of friendship and discover a cultural exchange of traditions, foods and fun by sharing personal, day-to-day experiences. Volunteers say the simplest experiences can have the greatest impact on their young guests, and their own family’s lives are enriched too.

Volunteer leaders recruit new hosts, conduct home interviews, and lead marketing efforts through local committees. When children are visiting, Fresh Air staff members and volunteers are available for support 24 hours a day. When leaves turn brilliant colors in autumn, snow falls on back porches and spring gardens bloom, volunteers are getting ready for summertime.

In New York City, children from low-income communities register for free Fresh Air programs through a network of social service and community organizations. The Fund continues to expand its outreach efforts by partnering with organizations that serve New York City’s culturally diverse communities.

2016 Annual Report | 11 Summer Sisters Venis, age 18, has visited her Fresh Air host family in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, for nine summers. Host dad, Jonathan, shared, “Venis has become like a sister to our daughter Libby. I remember we were waiting for the bus that very first year with our ‘Welcome, Venis!’ sign, and kids kept coming off the bus, and in my mind I kept trying to figure out which child was Venis. She comes off the bus last, with these little wire-framed glasses and a smile, takes one look at our sign and says to me, ‘Next year you can make a sign that says, “Welcome back, Venis!”’ It gets me emotional just thinking about that memory, because we were all so touched, and that’s what we put on the sign for the next nine summers!” Venis and her host sister, Libby, stay in touch during the school year, and Libby has also spent time with Venis’s family in Harlem.

12 | 2016 Annual Report CAMPING PROGRAMS

The Fresh Air Fund has a signiﬁ cant history in providing New York City children with structured camping programs. Early on, Fresh Air camps were in several different locations. In 1928, The Fund’s Marks Memorial Camp opened, situated on 200 acres in Dutchess County, New York, serving 120 boys. With the founding of Camp Hidden Valley in the early 1950s, Fresh Air pioneered the concept of mainstreaming by integrating children with and without special needs. In 1948, the donation of 1,000 acres of wilderness property in Fishkill, New York created The Fund’s Sharpe Reservation and provided an opportunity to centralize all of its camping programs.

In 2016, The Fresh Air Fund had a highly successful camping season at its five free camps on more than 2,000 acres in upstate New York. At Fund camps, 3,000 boys and girls experienced the connection between recreational activities layered with educational enrichment. Campers made new friends, adjusted to new environments, developed skills, gained self-confidence and learned from counselors who served as mentors and role models.

14 | 2016 Annual Report The Fresh Air Fund For two weeks, campers learn to swim, hike in the forest, race through grassy playing fields, study constellations at the planetarium, stargaze in the evenings while roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and even milk a cow at the Model Farm. Boys and girls also enhance their computer skills and improve their computer literacy.

The Fresh Air camps are: Camp Anita Bliss Coler for girls, ages nine to 15; Camp Hayden-Marks Memorial for boys, ages nine to 12; Camp Tommy for 12- to 15-year-old boys; Camp Hidden Valley for boys and girls with and without special needs, ages eight to 12, and Camp Mariah, which houses the Career Awareness Program, for boys and girls in 7th to 9th grades. Camp Mariah is named after Board member Mariah Carey, and Camp Tommy is named after Tommy Hilfiger, for their very generous support.

In addition to Fresh Air children, close to 18,000 young people from community and school groups participate in year-round camping. Camp facilities are available for rent for weekend camping, day trips, conferences and retreats. The Fund’s Sharpe Reservation provides an over 2,000 acre outdoor classroom, as well as formal and informal learning through curriculum-based activities that inspire an appreciation of nature and a greater understanding of the environment. The Reservation houses a nature center, ropes courses, trails, lakes, ponds, a Model Farm and a planetarium.

2016 Annual Report | 15 Chess Champion in Training Richard, age 17, attended both Camp Hayden-Marks and Camp Tommy before becoming a Counselor-in- Training (CIT) this summer. Although Richard loves to play sports, he is best known at Camp Tommy for being an accomplished chess champion. The younger campers look up to him, and he enjoys teaching them how to play chess. He is very patient and always makes the lessons fun. “I’ve been to camp for five summers, and I just love it. I want to be a counselor because of the way the counselors at camp have always made me feel supported. I’m starting to get ready for college, and I plan to major in education because I’ve been motivated by my counselors at camp. Teaching kids at camp has been a great experience for me. I think the CITs are the backbone of the camp, because we are always there to help the counselors.”

16 | 2016 Annual Report

TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The Fund’s Teen Leadership Program provides young women from 13 to 17 with an enriching environment to focus on their future goals. Through team-building exercises, writing workshops, poetry slams and dance classes, teen girls at Camp ABC are introduced to self-expression that leads to self-confidence and helps them explore their futures, consider their educational and career planning, and discuss challenging topics related to gender, race and class.

In 2016, close to 200 campers were served through The Fund’s Precious Center for Teen Leadership at Camp ABC, which focuses on developing leadership skills. The Center was created with the generous support of The Gary Magness Family Foundation. Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness were inspired by producing the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.

The youth-led, year-round Young Women’s Giving Circle teaches girls about the importance of community service and the power of philanthropy. The teens meet weekly and participate in workshops led by volunteer mentors, and learn the history, values and skills connected to community development, fundraising and giving back to their communities. In 2016, the Young Women’s Giving Circle focused on raising awareness about girls’ health.

18 | 2016 Annual Report The Fresh Air Fund

GABBY Gabby, age 21, was a camper and a participant in the Teen Leadership Program. She is now a student at Ithaca College and is inspiring the next generation of Teen Leaders as the Director of Camp ABC’s Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program.

‘‘Camp ABC is like my second home. I’ve grown up with my camp friends. We helped and supported each other along the way – which made us a really tight, close group. Many of the CITs were my campers last year and watching them grow and now aspire to be counselors is really rewarding.”

2016 Annual Report | 19 ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

The Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Program extends the camping experience beyond a summer and into year-round academic enrichment programs. Students apply in the 6th grade and attend Camp Mariah, The Fund’s Career Awareness Camp, in Fishkill, New York, in the summer. The program continues during the school year in New York City and at camp with a focus on expanding educational options, academic support and career exploration.

The Career Awareness Program includes an intensive 24-day summer session along with school year weekend camping trips for 300 boys and girls at Camp Mariah, named in honor of Board member Mariah Carey. In addition to traditional camp activities, campers explore science and technology and health and wellness. The Fund addresses several areas of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) curriculum at camp through lessons about the environment, both in the sciences and sustainability, interactive classes in music and technology, and lessons on math and its concepts.

Camp offers educational hands-on experiences in fun- filled ways including learning scientific principles, such as testing pond samples to determine chlorine, phosphate and pH levels. Nature studies take place sitting quietly by the lake, while an instructor 20 | 2016 Annual Report The Fresh Air Fund explains the characteristics of geese, ducks, toads, frogs, turtles and fish. Campers pick vegetables in the garden and create healthy snacks at the Nutrition Center where they follow the measurements in recipes and sharpen culinary skills. At the camp planetarium, worlds of wonder open up in a universe of exploration.

The annual Career Fair in the spring invites New York City volunteers from a wide range of fields, from engineering and architecture to finance and fashion, to lead interactive workshops and introduce students to career paths. Volunteers explain their professions and educational backgrounds and provide ideas, encouragement and counsel.

Job Shadowings are hosted by a range of partners and offer “inside” views of an industry for 7th to 9th graders. Experiences include visits to technology companies to learn what it takes to run a tech start-up, behind-the-scenes tours at television stations, mock trials at a law firm and exploring the product launch of a new video game.

The Tutoring Program in New York City provides a structured curriculum that supports literacy skills development, strengthens critical thinking and enhances computer skills. Volunteers meet with students weekly to provide academic and one-on-one guidance.

After 9th grade, Fresh Air students transition into The Fund’s College Connections Program which offers support through high school and the preparation needed to apply for and attend college. Volunteer mentors support their students through college until graduation and offer insights on securing internships and focusing on career paths.

2016 Annual Report | 21 Making a Difference Ivy, age 21, is a senior at Syracuse University and a member of the first cohort to graduate from The Fund’s College Connections Program. Ivy was 12 the first summer she attended camp, and after participating in the Counselor-in-Training Program, she returned to Camp ABC as a counselor. “The College Connections Program helped give me the tools, confidence, and adaptability to succeed. The Fresh Air Fund exposed me to Human Resources as a possible career, which I’m interested in pursuing, because I love working with other people. I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned in school, and from my mentors, to make a difference in other people’s lives.”

NEW YORK CITY VOLUNTEERS

Since 1877, volunteers have been integral to the Fresh Air experience. In this spirit of generosity, New York City volunteers support Fresh Air children year round by sharing their time, talent and creativity. Volunteer tutors and mentors meet weekly with students in the Career Awareness Program. Other volunteers spend their evenings assembling registration materials, supporting outreach efforts with calls to parents and families, and more.

Volunteer support is critical for Fresh Air programs. Dedicated volunteers become children’s mentors, role models and friends by offering guidance, assistance and inspiration.

Corporate partners host job shadowings, where students experience a hands-on view of working, while learning more about their college and career options. At The Fund’s camps in Fishkill, New York, volunteers participate in everything from clean- up projects to volunteering as “Counselors for a Day,” leading sports and arts and crafts projects.

24 | 2016 Annual Report The Fresh Air Fund In 2016, corporate volunteer teams included Bloomberg L.P., Bloomingdale’s, Blue Apron, Con Edison, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Equinox, ESPN, The Estée Lauder Companies, Foursquare, Google, HBO, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, MUFG Bank, NASDAQ, Proskauer Rose, The Rockefeller Foundation, Shake Shack, Showtime Networks, Tanya Taylor, and The Walt Disney Company.

Corporate partners also coordinated fundraising events, as well as drives for books and camp supplies. Special thanks to Con Edison, Cravath, Swaine & Moore and The Estée Lauder Companies for donating in-kind printing services. Many thanks to HBO for hosting the Volunteer Recognition Party and Con Edison for hosting the annual Career Fair.

2016 Annual Report | 25 Circle of Giving Back Kavell Brown participated in the Friendly Towns Program and this summer was able to give back to The Fund while volunteering as an intern at HBO. “As part of my internship at HBO, I was able to help plan a volunteer day at The Fresh Air Fund camps. It was a great team-building experience. The day brought all of the volunteers back to our childhoods. It was incredible to come full circle. I saw a boy that reminded me of myself when I was little. It brought back memories of visiting my Fresh Air host family. I did so many things I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. I remember clamming for the first time, tubing, swimming in the bay, and fishing. The Fresh Air Fund gave me opportunities I could never have dreamed of. It was incredible exposure. Volunteering at camp, and at a mentoring event with The Fund’s College Connections Program, I saw how Fresh Air students gain such valuable life skills.” 26 | 2016 Annual Report
