Our Impact

NYU Cancer Center for Kids- Mineola

NYU Cancer Center for Kids LITERALLY saved Vinny's life.  There is nothing that we can ever do to repay them for giving us our son back.  Please take a look at this video to see the lives they impact (as well as a certain "celebrity" sighting!).  With Vinny's Army, we have been able to donate a Playstation to the hospital as well as support them monetarily!

Vinny's Army Soldier Sacks

Every year, we collect games and supplies to fill up drawstring bags.  These bags are then donated to pediatric cancer warriors, to help entertain them while going through treatments.  


Blood Drive

Over the course of Vinny's treatment, he had to get over 30 blood and platelet transfusions!  There is a critical need for blood transfusions and our organization is committed to helping meet that need.  Our recent blood drive brought in 134 units of blood that will impact over 400 lives across Long Island.  Donations are still rolling in.  Please visit any NY Blood Center to donate the gift of life.  Give them Vinny's code of 71909. 

 




Toys for Tots

Vinny was given the honor of being the Junior Vice Chairman for Long Island for the 2024 holiday season.  While the title came with great pride, it is the friendships, connections and stories that were made during this time that are what is most important.  We were thrilled to bring hope to children all across Long Island during the holidays
