Our mission here at the Bob Venero Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the welfare, health and happiness of children. I've always felt that children represent the best part of us, the finest part of who we are as human beings, and we have a certain responsibility to help make their lives as good as they can possibly be. I am the parent of 3 young children, all healthy and happy individuals who add so much to my world and for whom I'm profoundly grateful. Not every family is so blessed. That is why I established this Foundation and decided to leverage my background and experience in the technology industry to create something special here on Long Island for these families and more importantly for their children who, in the face of their medical challenges, struggle to just be who they are: children.

The state of being sick, the experience of being hospitalized --- especially for children with life-threatening and chronic diseases --- is both foreign and terrifying to a child. As a Foundation, we hope to impart some semblance of joy and normalcy to their lives at a time when it is so desperately needed. The work of the Bob Venero Children’s Foundation has just begun. Children represent the future of our country and my foundation is focused on making sure that future is bright and full of promise. I've assembled a Board of Trustees whose commitment, contribution and tireless effort on the foundation's behalf is helping us create a vision for where we can make the greatest impact and provide the greatest value within both our local and global community.
