We formed The Alexander Fishman Childhood Joy Fund to make more childhood joy possible, despite circumstances that threaten its existence like poverty, oppression, job loss, abuse, illness, or loss of a loved one, among others.

Our mission is to provide MORE JOY FOR MORE CHILDREN in North Brooklyn by providing financial support so that a more diverse and inclusive group of children can experience the joys and benefits of summer day camps and activities in the North Brooklyn Community.
