Robert I. Schattner Foundation donates to OC Recreation Boosters

Ocean City, MD – (July 12, 2021): The O.C. Recreation Boosters recently received a generous donation from The Bresler Family and The Robert I. Schattner Foundation (RIS). The $10,000 grant will provide Ocean City children with financial assistance and scholarships to the after-school program, Camp Horizon, Scamper Camp and the Halloween Spook-Out.

Sid Bresler, President and Chairman of RIS, requested that the O.C. Recreation Boosters make this a challenge grant. In the spirit of giving, RIS is asking residents and non-residents of Ocean City to match this grant with donations made to the O.C. Recreation Boosters.

“The O.C. Recreation Boosters is a non-profit, independent community organization made up of area residents and representatives from various local community organizations,” commented Susan Petito, Director of Recreation and Parks for the Town of Ocean City. “Together, the boosters combine their talents and resources to support the recreation programs for area children offered by the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department (OCRP). The O.C. Recreation Boosters also organizes events and engages in fundraising activities to help to lower fees and offset costs for youth recreation programs in addition to providing scholarship opportunities for OCRP programs to those with financial need.”
