The New York Islanders and Islanders Children’s Foundation, based in Elmont, partnered with Northwell Health to host a backpack giveaway on Aug. 31.
The giveaway was held at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow.
Students who attended received an Islanders backpack with school supplies to gear up for the 2024-25 school year. The supplies included notebooks, colored pencils, folders, crayons, erasers and a pencil case.
Islanders mascot Sparky the Dragon greeted students as they came to accept their backpacks. Kids had fun jumping around in a bouncy house, shooting hockey pucks, picking out balloon animals and getting temporary tattoos.
