Paint & Donate Campaign
This October, supporting breast cancer research is as easy as buying paint. Throughout the month, for every gallon of premium paint sold at Aboff’s Paint stores and online at aboffs.com, the company will generously donate a portion of the proceeds to support breast cancer research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
The original Aboff’s Paints Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign raised over $10,000 for CSHL breast cancer research in 2012. In 2023, the two Long Island institutions renewed their partnership and raised over $40,000.
“Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to all of us here at Aboff’s,” said Aboff’s Paints owner and CSHL Corporate Advisory Board member Matthew Aboff. “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for October 2024 and hope to make this year’s campaign our most successful yet.”
Family-owned and operated, Aboff’s Paints has been proudly serving Long Island and the New York region for 95 years. The knowledgeable team of paint experts leverage decades of experience, and with 32 convenient locations across Long Island, they’re on hand to accommodate any residential, commercial, or industrial painting project.
For more information, contact Shayna Bowles at Aboff’s Paints (sbowles@ aboffs.com; 631-427-2008 ext. 153) or Sarah Kitt at CSHL (kitt@cshl.edu; 516-367-6808).

Tanger Outlets Deer Park and Tanger Outlets Riverhead announce the launch of the 2024 TangerKids Grants Program, continuing a long history of investing in the local community by supporting educational resources that help area students succeed. Applications are now open through Oct. 18, and Long Island educators are encouraged to apply at grants.tanger.com. The platform invites teachers

over 140 grants to schools and programs across the U.S., supporting equipment upgrades, inclusion initiatives, interactive learning spaces, hygiene and clothing closets, literacy efforts, STEM and more.
This year, Tanger has earmarked 70% of total grants for support of underserved schools, accessibility programs and student needs. Faculty members at public and private schools from pre-K
to grade 12 are eligible to participate in the annual program.
Tanger Deer Park and Riverhead shoppers will again be invited to help choose grant winners in their community through Member’s Choice voting, which will be open Dec. 2 –13. Award recipients will be announced in January 2025 and celebrated at the center’s annual TangerKids Day.
Sea of Grass: Long Island’s Salt Marshes, Program October 8
On Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 PM Author Betsy McCully will present Sea of Grass: Long Island’s Salt Marshes, a slide-illustrated talk on our once vast salt marshes. The presentation will be at the Freeport Memorial Library, 144 W. Merrick Road (at S. Ocean Avenue). Her latest book, At the Glacier’s Edge: A Natural History of Long Island from the Narrows to Montauk Point, explores our natural world through her eyes as a longtime resident.
