Fifty-two Long Island kids impacted by gun violence were sent away to sleepaway camp Sunday thanks to a generous donation.

The Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund teamed up with the Family Service League to donate more than $70,000 to send the children to Camp Herrlich in Putnam County.

Linda Beigel Schulman founded the nonprofit in honor of her son Scott Biegel, a geography teacher who was killed in the Parkland school shooting in 2018.

"It's an amazing experience for them and it's such a heartwarming experience for me. I will be going up next weekend. We'll be visiting these kids and it's really going to be amazing," Beigel Schulman said.

The fund has raised more than $1 million to send children to sleepaway camp.
