About Maryhaven Center of Hope
All proceeds are donated to the
Maryhaven Center of Hope, one of
Long Island’s oldest and largest
nonprofit programs helping the
developmentally disabled. This
nonsectarian agency lovingly
serves disabled children and
adults of every race, religion
and creed from the Metropolitan
area. Since its founding in the
1930s, Maryhaven has established
a nationwide reputation for
excellence in helping the
disabled achieve small miracles
of progress and independence.
Former New York Governor Pataki
has singled out Maryhaven for
extraordinary praise, describing
it as a shining example of what
can be achieved for the
disabled, a model agency that
the rest of the nation would do
well to emulate.
