Pretium Helps Make Our Season Bright

Birds of a Feather are Healing Together at Green Chimneys

June 17, 2022

Green Chimneys’ special education school and residential treatment center are proud of our partnership with Pretium to help children with special needs during the holiday season!

Thanks to the support of Pretium employees, Green Chimneys is able to provide a Holiday Bazaar for children attending our school and living in our residences. The Bazaar enables the children to go “shopping” for their parents, siblings, and loved ones, right on our campus! Helping our children to experience the joy of giving during the holidays.

You can help children experience the joy of giving during the holidays by:

Purchasing an item for one of our children to give as a gift through our wish list on Amazon created exclusively for Pretium Employees

Sending a gift directly to Green Chimneys to: Kristin Dionne, Associate Executive Director, Development, Attn: Holiday Bazaar, 400 Doansburg Road, Brewster, NY 10509. See a list of gift ideas here

Making a credit card donation via PayPal

Or by sending a check made payable to “Friends of Green Chimneys” with “Pretium” as a note and sent to Friends of Green Chimneys, 400 Doansburg Road, Brewster, NY 10509

When Pretium and Green Chimneys meet, the holiday spirit is amplified for students with special needs.

Red-breasted Geese

Donated by the Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy in Litchfield, Connecticut, this striking pair adds a new dash of color to the pond at the Wildlife Center. Red-breasted geese are smaller, stockier birds native to Europe and some areas of Siberia. They typically nest near peregrine falcons and gulls, using their neighbors as a deterrent from small predators that might attack a nest. These geese have a unique and piercing “ki-ioik, ki-ik” call that is easy to distinguish among the waterfowl chatter, and students can quickly recognize the geese by hearing them before spotting them in their habitat.
