Walkers and sponsors ― sign up now!
STOUGHTON, MA — Step up for a good cause and raise funds for seniors. All you have to do is walk! When you walk with Sinai at the Stepping Up with Sinai Walkathon on Sunday, September 26, 2010, you’ll be joining hundreds of community minded people like yourself to support our community and our seniors! Whether you are a walker or a sponsor, you’ll be raising funds for scholarships to Sinai’s Adult Day Health Program, which has been providing safe and supervised care since 1983. The Stepping Up Walkathon, sponsored by the New England Sinai Hospital Foundation and the Rotary Community Corps of Adult Day Health Programs, begins and ends at the Striar YMCA at 445 Central Street in Stoughton at 9:30 am, with a 3.2 mile (or 5K) loop around the neighborhood. Registration begins at 8:30 am. For more information and to register, contact Deb Ribak at (781) 297-1375 or dribak@nesinai.org.
Funding these vital scholarships helps seniors remain in their homes and as valued members of their communities. Scholarships are awarded to qualified seniors from Stoughton and 19 surrounding communities. Walk individually, in teams, become a sponsor or recommend sponsors who may be interested in participating. Business/Corporate Sponsorship levels: Gold - $5000, Silver - $2500, Bronze - $1000, $500 & $250. Business/Corporate sponsors can contact Sinai Foundation Executive Director, Bettyann McKenzie at 781-297-1328 or bmckenzie@nesinai.org.

The Sinai Adult Day Health Care Program gives families peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are enjoying companionship and care, which allows them to handle their daily commitments without worry or interruption. Most importantly, participation in an adult day program allows seniors and frail adults to remain in the community so that their families may continue caring for them at home.
Founded in October of 2001, the New England Sinai Hospital Foundation was established to serve as the philanthropic arm of New England Sinai Hospital and Rehabilitation Center. The Foundation is committed to raising funds to support New England Sinai Hospital in meeting the health-care needs of its communities, through the development of financial support from individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations.
New England Sinai Hospital is a 212-bed, non-sectarian, not-for-profit, long-term acute-care hospital with its main campus in Stoughton, MA and an inpatient satellite unit in Boston. It is a teaching affiliate of Tufts University School of Medicine. Sinai is recognized as a regional leader in the care of pulmonary, medically complex and acute rehabilitation care. Additionally, Sinai offers a wide range of specialized outpatient programs and services.
