About:
The Kings Park Baseball program recently demonstrated the true power of community through a meaningful Autism Awareness fundraiser game—an event that went far beyond the final score.
With overwhelming support from fans, families, and volunteers, the night brought the community together around a shared mission: supporting students with autism and promoting inclusion. Through donations and participation, the event is helping move forward an incredible goal—the creation of a sensory room at RJO Elementary School.
A sensory room provides a safe, supportive environment designed to help students regulate emotions, reduce stress, and enhance learning—making a lasting impact on their daily school experience.
The success of the event reflects the leadership and compassion of Kings Park’s student-athletes, who used their platform to raise awareness and give back in a way that will directly benefit younger students in their district.
More than just a game, this initiative served as a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together for a cause—embodying the values of inclusion, empathy, and service that define education-based athletics.
