Umbrella Club

Umbrella Club Our mission is to provide compassionate financial support to children with complex health needs in and around Fairfield County.

We are a local community-based charity that really cares and our actions speak for themselves. Our membership is purposely limited to 50 guys. We’re just 50 guys from all different walks of life who volunteer their time and services to raise all the money, run all the events, and find all the recipients. By doing it all ourselves, we keep our percentage of money donated to 90%, a rare feat that no

t many other charities can claim. We respect human dignity and understand that a quiet helping hand can make all the difference in the world. We are not a one-and-done organization. We are here for you and will be here for you. If you need our help again, you're always welcome back." The local business community has embraced our mission for the past several years. Now we are expanding our fundraising efforts with the creation of the Legacy Club, which expands our reach to Charities, Foundations / Trusts, Family Offices, Corporate Charitable Giving, etc. so we can give even more to local families. It stays here where we live and work.

Snow is melting and in just two months we will walk together at the 20th Annual Walk for Independence at Cove Island Park on Sunday April 26th! Enjoy a stroll around Cove Island Park while raising funds and awareness for ARI. We will honor Liz Sue Bagel for their 20 year commitment to this event. They will once again provide bagels. We will have a lot of fun activities. Check back for announcements. Thank you to all of our sponsors, especially today's spotlight sponsor the Umbrella Club. For decades the Umbrella Club has been a supporter of ARI and children with disabilities in Fairfield County. Once again this year they will be a Race Sponsor. Thank you to the 50+ members for continuing to show compassion and support for community families and children in need where their help can make a difference!
