“The Long Island business community has turned out in force to support the annual Marcum Workplace Challenge every year since 2006. It is an incredible statement about how much Long Islanders care about those in need that together we have been able to raise more than $1 million. The 2020 challenge will be our 15th all-out effort to raise funds for some of Long Island’s most outstanding nonprofit organizations, and I have no doubt we will match or exceed our prior results, as we do every year,” said Carolyn Mazzenga, Long Island office managing partner of Marcum LLP, the event’s title sponsor.
Beneficiaries include the Children’s Medical Fund of New York, Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank, Long Island Children’s Museum, and the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
