Thanks to the generosity of friends of the Village, we have raised in excess of $8 million to begin the construction of a state-of-the-art Lanza Activities Center on our campus. This new building will replace the current recreation building, which was built in the 1950’s and is woefully inadequate for today’s needs.

The new Lanza Activities Center will focus on health, fitness and fun for the some 300 children and teens who make The Children's Village their temporary home. Shown below are Board Chair Bill Krupman, Pat Lanza, and President Jeremy Kohomban breaking ground to launch the construction of the Lanza Activities Center on September 10, 2008.

Gifts to complete this construction may be paid outright or pledged over two to five years. In addition to making your gift with cash or a credit card, you may use gifts of stock, a trust, an irrevocable bequest, insurance policy, or other assets.
