How to Support
Do you remember the excitement of picking out a new backpack and school supplies before the first day of school? Even though summer was ending, something about fresh notebooks and sharpened pencils made a new year feel full of possibility.
The Rachel Quinn Children’s Foundation exists to give children across Long Island that same sense of confidence and excitement. Through our fundraising efforts, we provide students in need with backpacks and essential school supplies to help them start the school year prepared and proud. When children feel equipped and included, they’re more confident, more engaged, and ready to learn.
Your support helps remove barriers, lift spirits, and set students up for success — from day one.

Get Involved
There are many ways to support RQCF beyond making a donation (though we’re always grateful for that, too!). We rely on volunteers throughout the year to help bring our fundraisers and events to life.
