HARRIS, NY (May 15, 2011) – Catskill Regional Medical Center (CRMC) Foundation recently received a $1,000 donation from the SYDA Foundation of South Fallsburg, NY.

Christopher Williams, SYDA Foundation Manager for Community Relations, presented the check to Joan Farrow, CRMC Foundation President and member of CRMC’s Board of Directors, at CRMC’s main Harris campus on May 3.

“We are very grateful for the SYDA Foundation’s continued generosity to Catskill Regional Medical Center. The donation will be put to good use in purchasing equipment to provide the latest technology for our community,” said Farrow.

The SYDA Foundation has a history of providing generous donations to CRMC. In 1991, the SYDA Foundation organized, sponsored and hosted a gala to raise funds for CRMC (formerly Community General Hospital). Close to 1,300 people attended, raising $80,000 for the hospital.

“For the past 20 years, SYDA has made regular donations to CRMC as part of our program of ongoing contributions to the local community in the areas of health, safety and education,” said Williams.

The SYDA Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in South Fallsburg, NY, that makes Siddha Yoga Meditation available to students around the world.
