About DaHunt for the Cure . . .
DaHunt for the Cure was founded by Charles and Diane Medici in 2008, with its mission to support various local charities. The idea was an immediate success! People were drawn to the combination of the great outdoors, a little friendly competition, camaraderie with fellow business professionals, and help the needs of children and their families.
The inspiration for DaHunt for the Cure was born from the personal way blood cancer has touched my life since my nephew, Peter, was diagnosed with leukemia. Peter is now married and in his early 30’s, he and his wife Amanda have their first child and a second on the way. Peter is working in the family business as a project manager.
DaHunt for the Cure joined the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan Donor Advised Fund in 2017. This will allow us to continue the support of these very important causes, for years to come. Each year we will choose a different one of our favorite charities to be highlighted for that year.
Please join us in support of these wonderful and worthy causes!

CHILDRENS HOME of POUGHKEEPSIE
On January 21, 1847, a group of Poughkeepsie women called the Female Guardian Society met to form the Poughkeepsie Orphan House and Home of the Friendless to care for the poor, abandoned, and neglected in their communities, most especially the children. They believed that all children deserve a nurturing and caring environment.
Today, the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie provides a full range of community-based and residential services, giving hope and healing to at-risk children throughout the country. The Home is licensed by the New York State Office of Children & Family Services, the New York State Office of Mental Health, and the New York State Department of Health.
The Children’s Home is accredited by the Council on Accreditation for its exemplary adherence to human welfare agency guidelines.
KIDS FOR KIDS
Kids for Kids Foundation is a community of friends, families, and colleagues raising money for organizations that support children and families struggling with medical challenges.

CANCER RESOURCE CENTER HUDSON VALLEY
The mission of the Cancer Resource Center of the Hudson Valley is to make the cancer journey easier to bear for cancer patients and their families by being the voice of advocacy and support for the Hudson Valley community of people living with and affected by cancer and providing informational and educational resources and support services to improve quality of life through all stages of the cancer journey.
Hearts to Homes
At Hearts to Homes, our core mission is to empower individuals aging out of foster care by transforming empty living spaces into a place they can call home. We provide essential furnishings and a sense of comfort to those in need, ensuring that young adults who are transitioning out of the foster care system have the support they deserve as they embark on their journey of independence. By working to create a more comfortable living environment we can increase the stability of those who age out of the system while acting as a barrier to homelessness, incarceration, and multi-generational foster care involvement; all issues that affect the aging-out population. We aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve, one home at a time.
