THE FELIX ORGANIZATION/Adoptees For Children. Darryl "DMC" McDaniels from Run DMC and Sheila Jaffe the Casting Director of "The Sopranos" and "Entourage" are both adoptees who have searched for and found their birth families.
As they pursued their journey of discovery they realized how fortunate they are having been raised by a loving family and how things could have gone very differently had they not been adopted.
It was within this good fortune of being adopted that Darryl and Sheila decided to start THE FELIX ORGANIZATION/Adoptees For Children in February of 2006: as adoptees "we got taken home - we want to give to those children who didn't get taken home."
"Our mission statement" is to provide opportunities and new experiences that will enrich the lives of children growing up without parents. This is our goal - to send these children to summer camp.
Since its inception in 2006 THE FELIX ORGANIZATION has sent over 300 children to CAMP FELIX. The camp is located in Putnam Valley, New York and the children attend for one or two week sessions. They are provided with many activities: basketball, swimming, softball, arts and crafts, drama, yoga to name a few. Our goal is to continue to send children to CAMP FELIX and increase the number of children we can send.
We hope you will join us in our effort, for whatever you donate will make a difference in the lives of these children.
You can help give a chance for new beginnings and alternatives for the many children who are growing up without parents to nurture and guide them, who have no one to take them to the movies, to a ball game; to check their homework, to help them make healthy choices in life and set standards and goals for them.
