The Ice Bucket Challenge, September 2014
In September of 2014 The Umbrella Club of Stamford and Stamford Hospital participated in "The Ice Bucket Challenge", raising money for ALS Research.

Helping a Stamford Family, February 8, 2012
When the Umbrella Club, a non-profit organization, heard the story of a 13-year-old boy who was born blind and without a nose, they unanimously decided to sponsor the family. At a fundraiser Wednesday night, February 8th, 2012, the family was honored and more money was raised for the mission of the club (helping children in need) with a raffle. Thirteen-year-old Jeffrey even chose the winning tickets for various prizes including a 2012 Ford Mustang. All 999 tickets at $100 a piece were sold out for the cause.
