About:
Lax 4 Love was a huge success yesterday in raising over $3,200!!!
Thank you to the Defeo family for all of their help in organizating the event and VanWie family for supplying the food and snacks!!
We were able to collect over 400 pieces of sports equipment, which is the most ever and now able to supply the underprivileged with 3 new basketball hoops, 4 ping pong tables, and a treadmill thanks to all of our hard work. The equipment will be donated to Catholic Charities of Rockville Centre’s five teaching homes and their Siena Residence. The teaching homes are residential settings for emotionally challenged children and adolescents. Each of these 5 homes assists these young people with the skills necessary for successful living. The Siena Residence is home to 12 adults with chronic mental illness who work with counselors, assisting them in pursuing employment, job training, independent housing, medication management and socialization.
Both boys and girls varsity lax teams participated in the event and collected donations an hour before the game and during the game as well.
