Sunmark Foundation Sends Sweet Treats to Vanderheyden in Ninth Kindness ProjectThe Sumark Charitable Community Foundation completed their ninth Summer of Kindness project on Wednesday, August 28, treating Vanderheyden residents and staff to an ice cream truck to spread good vibes and kindness at their residential treatment center and community facilities.
Vanderheyden volunteers previously joined the Sunmark Foundation earlier this month to host a “Kindness for a Cause” lemonade stand at the Sunmark Financial Center in Brunswick. 100% of proceeds raised at this location went to help Vanderheyden in their mission to provide community-based services to children, adults, and families in the Capital Region.

The Sunmark Charitable Community Foundation aims to complete a total of ten Summer of Kindness projects this year as they celebrate ten years of “people helping people” since their inception in 2014. Their Summer of Kindness program began in 2021 and invites children up to age 12 to participate and “deposit kindness” by submitting ideas of how they would spread kindness in their local communities. Throughout the summer, a Kindness Crew comprised of Foundation members and Sunmark staff work to bring selected ideas to life. To learn more, visit sunmark.org/kindness.
