Bostock family of Greenwich wins award in Fresh Air Fund’s annual photo contest

Greenwich residents, the Bostock’s, participated in The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program this past summer and were among the winners of the 2017 Photo Contest! All winners were selected from the hundreds of photos submitted by volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada. The photos capture the memorable experiences our volunteer host families shared with Fresh Air children this past summer. Categories include “Backyard Fun,” “Friendship,” “New Experiences,” “Exploring Nature,” “Swimming,” “The Beach” and “Ice Cream.”

The Bostock’s photo was selected as the winner in the “Farm” category, and features Fresh Air child, Michael, 9, playing with the chickens in their backyard in the Southwest Coast area with the Bostock’s.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. To learn more about hosting a Fresh Air child next summer, please contact your local volunteer Nicole Heath at 203-829-8196 or visit The Fresh Air Fund at www.freshair.org.
