The beneficiary of the Dmitry’s Feast of the Peaks & Music Festival is the Shipman Youth Center (SYC) (www.shipmanyouthcenter.org), a not-for-profit community organization providing support to children and youth ages 10-18.  The center was inspired by Thomas Shipman, a designated Lake Placid youth police officer, who died suddenly in 1995 and the center was built in his honor, with community donations of money, materials and labor.  For the last 25 years, Dmitry Feld has ensured Shipman’s vision has been fulfilled. The SYC has provided services to over 6,000 different children.  Programs include homework time and assistance, community services, recreational services, weekly family-style dinners, dances, and guest speakers.  SYC provides a supervised, safe and exciting environment where local children can grow and develop as individuals.
