Fenimore in the Community: Supporting Double H Ranch’s Life-Changing Mission

Fenimore in the Community: Supporting Double H Ranch’s Life-Changing Mission

At Fenimore, our commitment to community extends beyond the office. This summer, our associates proudly lent a helping hand at Double H Ranch – A SeriousFun Camp, a place that offers free, life-changing programs for children and families facing life-threatening illnesses.

Our team spent two days preparing the camp for its next session, contributing to a mission that means so much to so many. We are honored to support an organization that brings hope and joy to these families.

But our partnership didn’t stop there. Double H Ranch also visited our Albany and Cobleskill offices, sharing their inspiring story, history, and how volunteering and charitable donations fuel the incredible work they do for children and families.

At Fenimore, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact. Together, we can continue transforming lives in our community.

Associates spending the day at Double H Ranch helping to prep the camp for their next session while learning about all that the camp offers to make a difference.

“Fenimore is blessed to give time and financial contributions to worthy organizations in our community.  I’m touched by our Fenimore associates who always share their hearts when we volunteer.  Personally, I am proud to carry out the Double H mission as a board member – to assist the families who need it most.”

Investing In Community: A Celebration of Renewal and Teamwork

Investing In Community: A Celebration of Renewal and Teamwork

For the second year in a row, Fenimore proudly partnered with Siena College Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams to host the Court Rehab Dedication and Ice Cream Social. This year’s event took place at the newly renovated George Street basketball court in Green Island, New York—a space that now stands as a testament to the power of community and the impact of teamwork.

The George Court, nestled under a highway bridge, had seen better days. Over time, it had been neglected due to necessary work on the bridge above, leaving the court in disrepair. But Green Island’s spirit never waned, and when the community voted for this court’s renovation during last season’s Siena basketball games, they chose to invest in a better future for their children and neighbors.

On July 29, the teams, local fans, and community gathered to celebrate the transformation of this vital community space. “Think about how many different kids this court can impact,” said Gerry McNamara, Head Coach of Siena Men’s Basketball. “They get a chance to come here on this incredibly refurbished court to have a safe place in a community environment.”

The dedication event wasn’t just about the court; it was about coming together to create something that will have a lasting, positive impact. We believe Fenimore’s commitment to community and teamwork was evident throughout the day, reflecting our core belief that by working together, we can build spaces where everyone can thrive.

The revitalized George Court is now more than just a place to play—it’s a symbol of what can be achieved when we all invest in our community.

Making a difference over the long-term

Making a difference over the long-term

Fenimore joined forces with Siena College Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams and CAPTAIN Community Human Services to host a Court Rehab Dedication and Ice Cream Social at the newly renovated basketball court at Cheryl’s Lodge in Clifton Park, New York.

Cheryl’s Lodge was the winning recipient of this renovation as voted on by attendees at the Men’s and Women’s Siena basketball games last season.

The teams, CAPTAIN, and local fans all came together to celebrate making our community better and the lasting impact it will have on kids and their families.

“For our fans to come here to Cheryl’s Lodge, obviously CAPTAIN and Fenimore Asset Management being able to put this on to refurbish a court that the youth of the community will be able to really enjoy, it means a lot,” said Carmen Maciariello. “I’m thankful to be in this position to be able to help.”

SIENA COURT REHAB AND ICE CREAM SOCIAL

The kids at Cheryl’s Lodge named the court, The Star Court, as a reminder that every person that steps on the court is special. The Star Court was dedicated in honor of Dr. Bill Long for all he has done to help CAPTAIN.

The mission and vision of CAPTAIN Community Human Services supports and empowers people of all ages to reach their goals of personal growth and self-sufficiency, while also strengthening communities. Cheryl’s Lodge is a program of CAPTAIN, which is a Community Outreach Center offering programming for children, families, and seniors.
