The Foundation proudly supports successful annual events including the Staten Island Film Festival and Unity Games.
Staten Island Film Festival
RCSF is the Founding Sponsor of the Staten Island Film Festival which was launched in 2006 and this year celebrates its fifth anniversary. The festival gives a venue and an audience to independent filmmakers and welcomes visitors to our community. The festival screens films at the St. George Theatre and the College of Staten Island and culminates with an award ceremony honoring the filmmakers.
Unity Games
A proud sponsor of the Unity Games, RCSF continues to support this unique organization now in its eighth year of providing a full two-day basketball event for seventh and eighth graders. The event combines basketball competitions with educational forums to promote respect and tolerance among our youth.
RCSF’s Hunger Initiative
This year, RCSF has initiated a program within our community designed to help those who are struggling to feed their families. A signature project, RCSF’s Hunger Initiative works in partnership with The Food Bank for New York to put more food on the shelves of Staten Island pantries.
Port Richmond CERT
We are pleased to support Port Richmond CERT, a team of volunteers who provide emergency response and emergency preparedness training to our community. Recognized by the NYC Office of Emergency Management, this group is a highly trained resource relied upon during emergency situations and at community events throughout the entire borough.
