Be an Angel and join us for our 7th Annual 5K Walk in the Park at Rockland Lake State Park in Valley Cottage, NY to benefit the Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen.

Adina’s Angels was established fifteen years ago in 2010 as a legacy for Adina and her brother Justin. It is also a tribute to their father, Steven, who passed away four months before them. With every step you take, and your support, Adina’s Angels ensures every family member will have Friends of Karen professionals by their side throughout their difficult journey.

The Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen is named in memory of Adina Berkowitz, who lost her 4-year battle with leukemia at the age of 17. Justin, Adina’s 20-year-old brother, died unexpectedly only two weeks before Adina.

The Adina’s Angels Fund helps Friends of Karen to provide vital, practical, and comprehensive support, at no cost, to families caring for a child with cancer or another life-threatening illness. It particularly strengthens support for siblings coping with their brother’s or sister’s illness.

Friends of Karen helps families with everyday needs and concerns, at no cost, so they have more time for what’s most important: each other.
