Congratulations to the Westhampton Beach girls’ volleyball program for winning the Long Island Holiday Sports Heroes Video Challenge for winter 2022 through Team Up 4 Community.
They teamed up with the school’s childhood cancer awareness club and created the “Digging for Gold” event to raise funds and awareness.
They have raised over $13,800 and are currently raising funds for a fellow Hurricane student.
While Lynbrook finished second in the holiday service contest, Section XI’s Bay Shore came in third.
Their Athletes Helping Athletes club is always ready to help their community when needed. They work with seventh and eighth-grade students by visiting the school to discuss important topics such as drugs, alcohol, cyberbullying, social media, and vaping.
This Holiday Challenge recorded 17,197 athletes performing over 36,494 hours of community service! This is valued at an economic impact of $381,580 given back to our communities! Learn more about Team Up 4 Community here.
