A New York City-based financial associate, Timothy Maleck divides his time between work and philanthropy. Over the years, he has participated in a number of cancer-research fundraising events. Timothy “Tim” Maleck also supports local organizations such as New York Cares.
Since 1987, New York Cares has connected local volunteers with a wide range of nonprofit groups. The organization also hosts a range of fundraising and volunteer events during the year, including the New York Cares Day for Schools. This campaign raises funds to expand public educational programming and help students develop self-esteem and essential life skills.
Volunteers interested in participating in a Cares Day for Schools must join or create a team. Individuals can choose their school site preferences when registering for the campaign, and the organization will do its best to place volunteers and their teams near their desired locations. New York Cares suggests that all participants set a goal of at least $100 and contribute $25 to get things started.
As part of the fundraising effort, volunteers complete beautification projects at New York schools. In 2017, volunteers restored playgrounds and painted classrooms at 38 local schools.
