Amityville High School students bring ‘Christmas Magic’ to kids in need

December 8, 2022 By Team Up 4 Community Leave a Comment

In the spirit of the holidays and giving back, Amityville Memorial High School’s Warrior Awareness Club student members once again participated in the Christmas Magic program. 

The nonprofit program was formed in 1990 through the efforts of a single father, Charlie Russo, a Hauppauge attorney. He wanted to teach his children the true meaning of Christmas. More than the 30 years, the organization has grown into hundreds of Long Island families giving back to their communities. Christmas Magic has touched the lives of over 11,000 Long Island children in more than 55 shelters, agencies, programs, churches and schools.

The Warrior Awareness Club took three trips to Target in Copiague during the first week of December to shop for children who are struggling during the holidays. To ensure gifts met the specific needs of the children the Amityville students were buying gifts for, they were given an information sheet that included each child’s age, gender, clothing size and interest.
