ROCHESTER, NY, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp marks 10 years of support from John P. Gizzi and family through the Gizzi Family Sensory Center, a facility

created to meet the needs of children with sensory sensitivities. The center was made possible by John P. Gizzi, a respected name in precision machining and fabrication, and a longtime philanthropic leader.

John P. Gizzi, a pioneer in the Upstate New York machining industry, built his reputation as a fabrication expert committed to excellence and innovation. The Gizzi Family continues to play a role in the multi-generation fabrication business, extending their values to community investment. Their gift to Sunshine Camp reflects a growing legacy of manufacturing leaders giving back and supporting meaningful, local initiatives.

The Gizzi Family Sensory Center was designed to provide campers with a safe, calming space to regulate sensory input. The facility features soothing lighting, music, a fiber-optics room, swings, a water table, ball crawl, climbers, and a marble light wall. As part of Sunshine Camp’s autism-friendly summer programs and commitment to programs that understand sensory needs, the center is a year-round resource for camp staff and children.

The camp’s 157-acre accessible campus in Rush, New York, hosts more than 2,500 children each summer. As a well-established sensory-friendly camp for kids, Sunshine Camp continues because of John P. Gizzi and family, who recognize the lasting value of inclusion.
