People's Arc of Suffolk

The Shark Tank Showdown @ The LI Aquarium
2025-04-01 18:00 - 21:00 UTC | Long Island Aquarium, 431 East Main Street, Riverhead, NY, 11901, United States
Introducing The Shark Tank Showdown!
A NEW and extreme event like no other, where 12 dedicated fundraisers (People’s Arc staff and friends) will face-off in a donation race to determine who will dive with real, live sharks! Join us LIVE on Thursday, April 1st as we witness two of our brave fundraisers face their fears and find themselves nose-to-nose with some of the ocean’s top predators inside of The Long Island Aquarium’s 120,000-gallon tank! Each diver will be placed right in the middle of circling sharks and an array of fish that cannot be found together anywhere on Earth!
Wonder who will be chosen? That is up to our community! The fundraiser who raises the most AND the fundraiser who raises the least will be the chosen two people to swim with the sharks! Vote for your favorite *or least favorite ;)* fundraisers by donating to their campaign.

All proceeds benefit People’s Arc of Suffolk’s programs and services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. All donations are tax deductible.

The Spring 2025 Showcase at The People's Arc Performing Arts Center of Northport
2025-05-30 10:30 - 12:30 UTC | People’s Arc Performing Arts Center at Northport, 51 Scudder Street, Northport, NY, United States
In October of 2024, People’s Arc of Suffolk proudly opened the doors to its innovative Performing Arts Center in Northport, NY. This program was designed with a singular vision: to use the performing arts as a platform for creativity, connection, and personal growth for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
On May 30, 2025, the center will host its first Spring Showcase from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This event will feature a student production of the musical Oliver!, put on by performers with intellectual and developmental disabilities as part of People’s Arc of Suffolk’s theatre program. It’s a chance for the community to come together and see the hard work and talent of our people.
The event will also include an art exhibition called ArtAbility, featuring works by differently abled artists from the Spirit of Huntington Art Center. Each week, students study different artists and create their own works inspired by what they’ve learned. Our artists’ display will be part of a touring art show that travels across the tri-state area. These pieces highlight each artist’s unique point of view and the transformative power of art.
In addition, the premiere of ArcTV will take place. This new podcastTV was created by a team of differently abled individuals from both People’s Arc of Suffolk and the Spirit of Huntington Art Center. ArcTV features interviews and short films inspired by the directors studied in the moviemaking class.
To RSVP please contact Michelle Serrado at 631-585-0100 ext. 1067 or mserrado@suffahrc.org
