Our Delegates and Advisory Board have once again selected the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) as the charity that RTM will be supporting in 2024!

NCLD empowers the 1 in 5 of us with learning and attention issues to succeed in school, at work, and in life. Through our initiatives and with the expertise of our renowned Professional Advisory Board, NCLD creates programs, research, and practical resources to reduce stigma, promote self-advocacy skills, and mobilize a powerful force of knowledgeable advocates to create real change. Visit NCLD.org for more information and find free resources for parents at Understood.org.

RTM is proud to work with the Kids in Need Foundation, creating fundraising campaigns to support their mission to ensure every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom.

Through our involvement, we support classrooms in economically challenged communities across the country by assembling backpacks filled with school supplies. We help support the following programs:

Second Responder

The Second Responder® program provides school supplies to students affected by natural disasters.

School Ready Supplies

The School Ready Supplies program provides elementary students with new backpacks and the core supplies needed for success.

Competitive sports breed common ground. Athletes, coaches and the people who support them come together for the love of a sport or the thrill of a game. Not everyone wins.

Through Special Olympics New York, though, everyone is included. Athletes with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to challenge themselves in fair and even competition. Win or lose, they develop their own character, make friends and find unknown wells of determination within themselves.

If you’re a fan of unity, acceptance, empowerment, dignity, pride and fun, you’re a fan of Special Olympics New York. You’re one of us.

BRC's mission is helping people reclaim lives lost. They restore hope and dignity by offering opportunities for health and self-sufficiency.

More than 300 BRC Homeless Outreach staff work around the clock to provide hope, help, and a hand up to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness.

BRC’s Outreach Teams meet many individuals that have been relying upon their own resilience and resourcefulness to survive for a long time. On average, an individual living unsheltered will have to be contacted by service providers more than 100 times before they will agree to enter into a more appropriate living situation.

BRC’s Outreach Teams listen, motivate, and seek to understand the person underneath the trauma. Over time, they build trust and relationships with clients so that when the individual is ready to seek lasting shelter and safety, they know that they can turn to BRC for the help that they need.

Learn more about the incredible work BRC is doing by visiting brc.org.
