This past week our football team was recognized at the Lynbrook Board of Education meeting for their efforts in raising funds for the Nugent and Quinlan families, whose young daughters are battling cancer.
The community showed their support at the benefit game held on Halloween this year.
The Varsity Club (lead by Brian Donaldson) sent a few members to help out the Gridiron Club by manning trick or treat stations around the track. Under the bright lights of the field, trick or treaters came from all over the village for treats and stayed to watch an awesome football game.
The varsity team took the field wearing special commemorative jerseys for both families that were generously purchased by First Central Savings Bank for the boys. That game was a win all around for the team and community.
Proceeds from the gate and benefit T-shirt sales were divided between both families. A total of $4,000 was collected to help these families in this most desperate time of need.
Thank you to all who have donated, who cheered us on through the season and who embraced two of our strongest fighters.
