New York, U.S.A. — New York Sports Clubs (NYSC) announced on December 18, a contribution of more than $34,000 to New York Cares—the city’s largest volunteer organization – to support the nonprofit’s ongoing Hurricane Sandy relief and rebuilding efforts across the tri-state region.

As part of the New York Sports Clubs’ “Work Out to Help Out” Thanksgiving fundraiser, 100 percent of the sales from special three-day guest passes and new member fees were donated directly to New York Cares’ Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

“As a company with deep roots in the tri-state region, we’ve come to understand the immense level of support that those affected by Hurricane Sandy need,” said Bob Giardina, CEO of New York Sports Clubs and Town Sports International. “Deploying thousands of local volunteers into the hardest hit neighborhoods, New York Cares has been on the frontline of disaster relief and we are proud to contribute to their ongoing commitment to restore normalcy to our community.”

In addition, New Sports Clubs has donated memberships to Americorp and Team Rubicon volunteers who are assisting in the rebuilding efforts in the Rockaways and other neighborhoods devastated by the storm.
