An Adventureland Foundation

The Helping Hands Foundation was founded with the goal of helping Long Island reach its potential.

Since 2013, we have donated nearly $75,000 in scholarships to Long Island students. We’ve also instituted three annual goods drives at Adventureland: Christmas in July Toy Drive, August School Supply Drive and the Fall Food Drive. Over the past 4 years, we have donated thousands of toys to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, thousands of school supplies to students and programs in Copiague, Amityville, and Wyandanch School Districts, and thousands of pounds of food to local pantries like L.I. Harvest and the Town of Babylon Food Pantry.

Our Coats for a Cause Program gives free snack for group that book a trip to Adventureland in exchange for a new or gently used coat, which we donate to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.
