The Staten Island Recreational Association Inc. was founded late in 1992 by the late Mr. Lou Caravone, a long time community leader & activist. He and 10 other like minded individuals realized that there was a need to help under funded groups here on Staten Island. The association applied for and received its not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), designation and proceeded to hold different types of functions to raise funds. The net proceeds of these events were then distributed to various programs that were unable to secure funding thru other channels.
The association also hosted many activities for elderly and challenged individuals in the area. On many occasions we bought blocks of tickets to circuses and shows in the area. We continued this venue until late 2004. The times changed and to continue the course we had undertaken became cost prohibitive.
Early in 2005 we came upon an idea that would again allow us to continue to serve the community in a similar way. The H.O.O.P.H. Program was born and continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
