Able-ing physically challenged children for over 100 years. Annual Report 2 0 1 5 President’s Letter 2015 The Southampton Fresh Air Home would like to thank everyone whose generosity enabled us to have a successful 114th season. 2015 has been a productive year for the SFAH. Our two fundraisers, the Decorators-Designers-Dealers Sale and Auction Gala and the American Picnic with Fireworks by Grucci, were once again well attended and financially successful. These two events, along with private grants and donations, enable us to provide over 150 physically challenged children the opportunity to experience a sleep-away camp. At camp, the children enjoy swimming, sailing, cooking classes, sports, dancing, beach trips, spa days, field trips, iPad and computer activities and so much more. In the past few years, we have expanded our programs to include off season weekend getaways and day trips for both campers and alumni. Only an extraordinary community can support a family-oriented organization for over 100 years, and the campers and their families are very grateful to all of you who support them. In my first year as President, I enjoyed many visits to the camp meeting with the children and their families and hearing firsthand about their hopes, needs, obstacles and dreams. Our staff designs activities to help build self-esteem, independence and confidence. While all of these elements are critical to every child’s development, I also have learned that the Home offers something to these children that others often take for granted: fun. This simple act of providing fun to these kids who spend so much time either isolated or visiting doctors and therapists is a gift of immeasurable value. 2015 was a busy time at the SFAH with the completion of the new Catherine di Montezemolo Administrative Building. This important addition serves as a welcome center to campers and their families, makes the staff more accessible to the children and gives senior camp staff a bird’s eye view of happenings on the campus. It was wonderful to see groups of children enjoying lunch with the administrative staff on the inviting back patio facing the new gardens this summer. The building is a true testament to Cathy di Montezemolo’s life long dedication to the children and reminds us all of her giving spirit. 2015 also saw the inaugural meeting of the Camper Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC includes current and former campers, camper parents, management and members of the Board. The group was brought together to give campers and parents a stronger voice in camp planning. The CAC both confirmed our many accomplishments and gave us ideas and guidance for the future. Topics discussed at the meeting included camper and parent independence, our facility and program, staffing, alumni and fundraising. I was so impressed by all those who participated in this year’s CAC and look forward convening a new group in 2016. We are in the process of a major facilities upgrade that will include restoration of the sports courts including the provision of shade for the children and a significant renovation of our Main Building including the kitchen and dining hall. We recently embarked on a capital campaign to fund these projects and have received a number of generous donations. I extend a special thanks to all of you who have made leadership gifts and contributions to this effort. With our upgraded wheelchair fleet fully in place, we are better able to safely transport campers to and from New York City and expand our off-site field trips. This summer’s outings included trips to the Southampton Breakers baseball games, the Riverhead Raceway, concerts in Agawam Park, the Southampton Animal Shelter, the Parrish Art Museum, the Rogers Memorial Library, the Long Island Game Farm, the Westkill Farm and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, among others. Photo - Patrick McMullan/PatrickMcMullan.com Our off-season programming continues to grow. During the 2015 season, we hosted seven events including overnight reunions at the camp, our annual holiday party, day trips to Broadway’s The Lion King, and Mets and Yankees games. We are currently scheduling several exciting 2016 outings, and it is our plan to produce two off-season events per month by 2017. Via our alumni programs, we continue to engage our campers as young adults and also provide first time campers with mentors. As I finish my first year as President, I want to acknowledge my predecessor, Michaela Keszler, who spent three years at the helm. Michaela’s thoughtful leadership of the Board and her dedication to the children and the Home serve as an inspiration to all of us. I thank her for the energy and time she devoted to improving our facility and programs. We are committed to providing our special children with experiences that enhance their lives. We cannot do this without you and we are grateful for your continued support. Sincerely, Catherine Kuehn Price Cathy Price with husband Malcolm left, and son Malachi at the 2015 American Picnic.

Thanks to the addition of climate controlled dormitories and an infirmary built in 2008, the Home now provides a minimum of five off-season weekend retreats for current campers and alumni in addition to three summer sessions ranging from one to three weeks. Our off-season reunions address the lonely void in these children’s lives once summer camp ends. It is our plan to provide at least two off-season events monthly by 2017. A modernization of our campus is necessary to serve our physically challenged children and their ever more complex needs in the best possible way. A five-year plan initiated in 2013 includes the new administrative building, a renovation of the main building, pools, sports courts and an upgrade of the transportation fleet. To date, these projects have been sustained by individual bequests, the Home’s endowment, and foundation and private grants. In 2015 the Board initiated a Capital Campaign to raise the additional funds to complete these projects. We thank our Capital Campaign chairmen Lise Evans and Tania Higgins and all of our generous Capital Campaign donors to date.

Financial aid is available for all levels of need, from minimal need to 100% of camp fees. The Southampton Fresh Air Home today.

She was invited by friends to help the campers with their hair and make-up – lovingly known as “Day of Beauty” – preparing them for the annual prom. Meeting the children once was all she needed to become drawn in by the mission of the Home. Pamela then started attending the fundraising events and working on event committees. She was invited to join the Board of Directors in 2001. Photo - Patrick McMullan/PatrickMcMullan.com As a Board Member, Pamela has served as Secretary, Executive Vice President, Co-President (with Susan Nappa Cocke) and Vice Chairman. She chaired the Home’s American Picnic three times and the Decorators-Designers-Dealers Sale and Auction twice. During her tenure as President, the Home completed the replacement of its aging dormitories and infirmary with new state of the art buildings without the children missing a single day of camp. Above: Pamela with family members and campers enjoying a day at The Meadow Club. Left: Julian, Pamela and Isabel Camacho at The American Picnic. “Meeting the children once was all she needed to become drawn in by the mission of the Home. ” Pamela fondly spoke about all of the people who helped take the Home into its second century: “Ann Grimm, Cathy di Montezemolo, Jackie Goodwin, Pam Michaelcheck and Kathryn Cowles – I loved all the people I was involved with in the beginning. They were very admirable in every way.” Pamela, who currently serves as co-chairman of the Board Development and Nominating Committee, is also very proud of the current Board. “The Board has grown enormously since I joined in 2001. It has grown enormously as a collegial, professional, hard-working and accomplished Board. The trajectory the Board has taken has made the Home, its vision and its programs stronger. In addition, the Home is so fortunate to have a terrific Executive Director, Tom Naro, and wonderful Camp Director, David Billingham. Without them, the Camp would not be the strong and vibrant place we know.” Both Pamela’s personal and professional life have played important roles at the Home over the past years. Pamela and her family – husband Alex and four children, Julian, Isabel, Charlotte and Simon – can often be found at the camp, or at the Meadow Club, teaching and playing tennis with the campers. Her expertise as an attorney has been an invaluable asset to the Board and the Home. “My biggest pleasures are to be involved with the campers and the staff and everyone working at the Home. Together with the Board, they have helped the Home strengthen and expand. I have enjoyed watching how the new bunks gave the campers and counselors a wonderful, more comfortable place to live. It became bright and cheerful and it’s worked so well. The infirmary is a much better place for the nurses to care for the kids, and it serves their needs to a much better degree.” Pamela was asked why the Home has been one of the most enduring charities in Southampton, and her answer was simple: “The children. As soon as you see them it takes you in and keeps you. It is the ability to do hands-on work with the campers. And it is the family involvement that working with the Home allows – family involvement which you don’t get with other charities. All of my children have volunteered at the Home over the years. It is such an important part of their experience growing up in Southampton." All of us at the Home thank Pamela for all she has given the Home, and we look forward to welcoming the entire Camacho family on our newly renovated Sports Courts in 2016! 13 Camper Highlights Tyrese Alleyne-Davis His speech from the 2015 Open House Good afternoon everyone, my name is Tyrese Alleyne-Davis. I’m 16 years old and I have been coming to the Southampton Fresh Air Home for seven incredible summers. Every day I wonder what the ladies of SFAH were envisioning when they saw and realized that there was no place in general for people of our nature to come and have a normal summer with no worries, judgment or belittlement by society. When I first heard about the Southampton Fresh Air Home in the fall of 2008, my parents were a bit apprehensive to send their baby away for such a length of time and to a place which didn’t matter much to them. With a convincing argument they allowed me to spread my wings and broaden my horizons. Now looking back it was the best thing they ever did and are now counting down the days till camp starts. You wouldn’t believe seven years ago I was an overconfident, self-centered individual with no desire in strengthening or developing myself and others around me. But with many intelligent, inspiring conversations with staff and SFAH’s very own David Billingham, I came to realize the power each camper has with keeping not only their bunk but the whole camp spirit alive. If I ever lose my way later on in life and when I think there is no hope left, will always come back home here and be quickly reminded of everything that was instilled in me. When you leave here today after meeting all of us and giving you a glimpse into our world, please give two minutes to think how your life could have been if the shoe was on the other foot. Thank you all for spending this beautiful day at the Southampton Fresh Air Home and we would love to see you all next year. From “Differently Abled” a blog by Tucker Salovaara September 2015 This past weekend I went to my favorite place on earth, SFAH. I spent my childhood there with my friends from school from 2001-2011. These were my favorite times getting ready for every summer to go there and have my summer to remember. This past weekend when I got to camp, it felt like I was back at my first year where I was 8 years old and having the time of my life. It felt like I did not have a disability, but an ability. No matter what, SFAH will be my home away from home for life because when you first step on the grounds you feel like a butterfly who grabs you and takes you to a fantasy land that no one can judge you for what you are. When I aged out of SFAH, I was heartbroTucker, center, with his mini session buddies ken. When the camp invited me to the first mini session after graduation, it was the greatest time of my life because it made me realize that SFAH will never leave me. Even though I aged out, I am a part of the greatest camp If you are physically challenged and you are not 18 yet, I recommend ever for people who are physically challenged. you to check out SFAH because this camp will change you forever. 2015 Board of Directors Photo by Pam Deutchman / www.society-in-focus.com Claire Mulholland Barbara Stovall Smith Chairman Emeriti Pamela Michaelcheck Kim A.
