The North Shore School District's Foundation (North Shore Viking Foundation) was selected to appear on the list of charities for Americana Manhasset's Champions of Charity.  For three days, 25% of your purchases at Americana are donated to the charity of your choice. We are hoping this will help bring in significant funds to support student programs.


Purchases must be made from Dec 4th-6th.However, the registration period is now open. You just need to create an account where you register your email with the charity. Once you do that, you shop with the QR code they give you. The Viking Foundation then receives 25% of the funds from shopping on those three days. It takes under one minute to register. 


Just be sure to choose “North Shore Viking Foundation” during your registration process.  If you register on your phone, it’ll pre-populate most of the info for you- making it super easy. https://www.americanamanhasset.com/events/champions-for-charity/ .
