Lumiere Ballet
Delivers Inspiring Performance
On Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd, the Town of Babylon community gathered at Tanner Park in Copiague for a captivating performance by Lumiere Ballet, featuring dancers of all ages—from young students to seasoned professionals.
Thanks to the efforts of Suffolk County Legislator Jason Richberg, who secured the funding for the event, residents were treated to an unforgettable evening of fine arts on the waterfront.
“Bringing high-quality
arts programming like Lumiere Ballet to our community not only enriches our cultural life but also gives local families access to the beauty and discipline of classical performance,” said Legislator Jason Richberg.
“I’m proud to support events that inspire the next generation of artists.”
Lumiere Ballet is a premier ballet school and performing company known for its rigorous training, artistic integrity, and dedication to developing young talent.
Many of its students go on
to receive scholarships or pursue professional dance careers.
“It was incredible to see dancers of all ages take the stage right here in Copiague,” said Town of Babylon Councilman Terence McSweeney.
“Events like this remind us of the power of the arts to bring people together, inspire youth, and uplift a community.” A heartfelt thank you to Lumiere Ballet for a stunning evening of culture, talent, and inspiration.
Town Of Babylon Celebrates Sunrise Day Camp-Long Island
The Town of Babylon is proud to be home to Sunrise Day Camp–Long Island, a truly remarkable organization dedicated to bringing back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings.
Sunrise Day Camp’s mission is simple yet powerful — to create moments of laughter, friendship, and hope for families navigating pediatric cancer. Through their inclusive summer day camp, year-round programs, and in-hospital recreational activities — all offered completely free of charge — they provide a safe and joyful space where kids can simply be kids.
Recently, Town of Babylon Councilman
Terence McSweeney toured the camp’s newly upgraded facilities, meeting with staff and seeing firsthand the impact of the improvements on the children and families they serve.
“As someone who grew up with a sibling with a disability, I understand the importance of not taking everyday life tasks for granted,” said Councilman McSweeney. “Whether it’s making spaces accessible for people with disabilities, ensuring siblings are included in programs, or building a place where children are celebrated for their individuality, Sunrise Day Camp has thought of it all. Their commitment to inclusivity and compassion
is inspiring.”
Supervisor Rich Schaffer praised the camp’s impact on the community, adding, “Sunrise Day Camp doesn’t just provide activities — they provide hope. They give children and families facing unimaginable challenges a reason to smile, and we are honored to have them as part of our Town of Babylon family.”
Sunrise Day Camp envisions a world where cancer does not define a child’s life, where every child is celebrated for their unique gifts, and where cultural diversity is embraced. In the Town of Babylon, that vision is not just a dream — it’s happening every summer, one child at a time.
