The Rachel Quinn Children’s Foundation is dedicated to supporting the well-being and educational growth of children across Long Island. Through direct support to students and classrooms, along with community-based programs, we strive to spread, inspire, and celebrate the kindness that Rachel Quinn so naturally embodied.

Since 2022, we have distributed nearly 1,500 backpacks filled with essential school supplies, continuing to expand our network of partner schools each year. By removing the financial barriers that can stand in the way of learning, we help students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.

Beyond the classroom, we partner with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club to sponsor programs in the arts, music, and dance. Introducing children to creative outlets at a young age encourages self-expression, builds confidence, and can spark passions that last a lifetime.

We also proudly sponsor Kindness Awards within our partner schools, recognizing students who demonstrate exceptional empathy, compassion, and support for others. By celebrating these moments during end-of-year ceremonies, we reinforce the importance of kindness and remind every student that choosing empathy matters.
