Cape Cod Horticultural Society Inc

Help Tibetan Nuns Inc, based in Osterville, MA, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to Tibetan women and children, particularly focusing on supporting Tibetan Buddhist nuns in the Himalayan region. The organization has been actively involved in fundraising efforts, especially during the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, to assist various nunneries and projects, including the Tilokpur Nunnery and the Golden Roof Project in Tibet. In addition to financial support, Help Tibetan Nuns Inc organizes events such as trunk shows, art exhibitions, and documentary screenings to raise awareness and funds for their causes. A portion of the proceeds from these events is directed toward essential repairs and renovations needed at the nunneries, ensuring the continued support and well-being of the nuns and their communities.

In the spring of 2004, a few Sandwich Little League volunteers organized a small group of physically and developmentally disabled children to play baseball for a six week period during the little league season. Deemed a huge success by everyone, many of the parents expressed the need for a program that offered year-round recreational and social opportunities for their children. After months of planning and discussion, husband and wife Kelvin Ing and Amy Lipkind, who have no special needs children of their own, incorporated the Cape Cod Challenger Club in August 2005 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.What began with a handful of baseball players has now grown into a year-round athletic, recreational and social activities program for children and young adults with disabilities. With over 300 participants, and nearly as many volunteers, the Cape Cod Challenger Club now shares its own facility with the Cape Cod Collaborative. Occupying a formerly closed elementary school that has now been completely renovated to meet the needs of its special population, the Club controls its own fields, gymnasium, recreation rooms, kitchen and cafetorium with a stage area. Continuing to grow and keeping the organization going strong has been a "labor of love" for Kelvin and Amy who still oversee and operate the Cape Cod Challenger Club as volunteers. There is no paid administrative or support staff and the organization is funded solely through charitable contributions, fundraising and grants.
