State Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno announced today that he has secured $25,000 from the 2003-04 State budget to support social and youth assistance programs provided by the Sunnyside Center in Troy.
"Our children represent the hopes for a better tomorrow, and we should be doing all that we can to prevent them from exposure to dangerous criminal activity and a life on the streets," said Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno. "The Sunnyside Center�s commitment to helping disadvantaged children has truly turned lives around, dramatically improving the quality of life not only for them and their families, but for the entire Troy community as well."
"Our families face challenges everyday and look to our organization for some ray of hope, some sense of security in a difficult world," said Sister Claudette Harris, Executive Director of the Sunnyside Center. "We are very thankful to Senator Bruno for his continuing efforts to support these innocent children and to ensure that they grow and develop in a nurturing environment.
