ASMS proudly participated in the 4th Annual Share the Warmth Coat Drive in collaboration with the Islamic Association of the Finger Lakes, the Medical Muslim Student Association at LECOM, and the American Medical Women’s Association. This heartwarming event, organized in part by Rubina Qadeer (mother of ASMS student Ibaad Chowdhry and a teacher at LECOM), brought together approximately 150-200 people in the Weis parking lot in Elmira on Saturday Nov 2, 2024.
Thanks to the collective efforts of our community, we distributed around 300 coats—along with countless hats, gloves, and scarves. This small but meaningful act of generosity has the power to transform lives, one warm coat at a time.
Want to help share the warmth? Donations of winter items such as new or gently used coats, gloves, scarves, and hats are accepted year-round. You can send items to ASMS to ensure that more families stay warm each winter season. Together, we can make a difference!
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH), which means “Our Little Brothers and Sisters” in Spanish, is an international organization dedicated to helping vulnerable children and families in Latin America and the Caribbean break free from poverty. Since 1954, NPH has provided essentials like nutritious food, education, healthcare, and job training to empower those in need.
ASMS is proud to have partnered with NPH for over a decade, working together to make a meaningful impact. Each year, our school community raises funds to sponsor two children, Jamesley and Marie, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive.
Last Thursday, eighth-grade student Zach Brink took the lead in organizing a flag football fundraiser to support this mission. Students formed teams and competed in a spirited event that brought the ASMS community together for a great cause.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to participate in fundraising efforts throughout the school year. Together, we’re making a difference!
