Nassau Candy, leading manufacturer of specialty and private label confections and its founders, the Stier family, will be honored at the Sunrise Association’s 18th Annual Mildred & Samuel Levine Memorial Golf Classic on Aug. 5.

This honor is being bestowed on Nassau Candy and the Stier Family, Les and Shirley, their sons and their wives Lance and Rachel, Garrett and Samantha, Travis and Allison, and Spencer and Blake for their tireless support of Sunrise Day Camp – Long Island, a free camp for children with cancer and their siblings.

“As a family-run business, family is at the heart of everything we do,” said Les Stier, founder and CEO of Nassau Candy. “That’s why Sunrise Day Camp – Long Island and their mission to help bring joy to the lives of children with cancer and their families is so important to us. We and Nassau Candy are honored to be recognized for our support of this wonderful organization.”

The Sunrise Association aims to bring joy to the lives of children with cancer and their siblings through their day camps, in-hospital programs, and year-round programming. By offering day camps, children can still receive the ongoing medical treatment they need, while being with their families at night. All programs are offered 100 percent free of charge.

Nassau Candy and the Stier family are continuing to raise money and are close to their goal of $1.2 million for the organization.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Stier Family and Nassau Candy,” said Arnie Preminger, president and CEO of the Sunrise Association. “Their dedication and generosity have made a profound impact on the lives of countless children and their families. Being honored at the 18th Annual Mildred & Samuel Levine Memorial Golf Classic is a testament to their commitment to bringing joy and hope to children facing the challenges of cancer. They truly embody the spirit of Sunrise Day Camp.”

The 18th Annual Mildred & Samuel Levine Memorial Golf Classic will take place at The Seawane Club, Rockaway Hunting Club and Hempstead Golf & Country Club. Along with golf there will also be opportunities to play tennis and pickleball, cards and games. There will also be shopping opportunities and lunch, dinner and cocktails.
