Variety New York

You can help kids have fun.

Variety – the Children’s Charity’s purpose is to serve children who are less fortunate – children who live and grow up with a serious illness, disability or disadvantage. These are extra special children who require a special kind of help.

You can be that help and make a difference in a child's life.

We provide a future without limits for every child, regardless of their background or ability, and give them chance to live, laugh, and play like kids should.

Variety’s Freedom Program

We deliver special adaptive bikes, life-changing equipment, and services for mobility, independence and social inclusion to children in need across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Children like Mikayla!

We're different.

Unlike most charitable organizations that focus on a single area problem or issue, Variety focuses on multiple unmet needs of children who are sick, disadvantaged or live with disabilities and other special needs at a local, national and international level. Our aim is to maximize the real, long-term positive social impact for all children. Variety welcomes the support of any person who shares our ideals and objectives – the profound and long-term life changing benefits your donation and support delivers to a child cannot be overstated. Although Variety’s work is serious, we never forget the importance of having fun. Bringing smiles to the faces of children is a positive and fun experience for Variety volunteers, sponsors and supporters.

"I can push myself further than I thought, talk with other to get to know them better. I will help out around the house more because things make a difference."
