Wantagh Park hosts Tunnels to Towers benefit with Sen. Rhoads

State Sen. Steve Rhoads joined County Executive Bruce Blakeman at the Tunnel to Towers benefit softball game on July 24 in Wantagh Park.

The game was designed to raise charitable funds for America’s heroes lost in the line of duty. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a non-profit organization that’s been at work since 9/11 to provide mortgage-free homes to the Gold Star Family Home Program and fallen first responder families. The Foundation also constructs specially-adapted smart homes for injured veterans and first responders.

Rhoads has been involved in various community and family-focused initiatives. His attendance at the game highlighted his support for the event and its mission to honor fallen heroes.
