East Islip softball team brings more ‘Christmas Magic’ to kids

December 14, 2021 By Team Up 4 Community Leave a Comment

East Islip High School’s varsity softball team participated in the annual Christmas Magic service project on Dec. 12. All of the returning players, including assistant coach Katie Wallace, shopped at Target in Bay Shore for elementary-age children in the Amityville School District.

Each player had $75 and a Dear Santa list. The gifts were then wrapped by the players, and will be delivered by East Islip coach Jason McGowan, who teaches at Amityville High School.

“This is my fifth year participating in Christmas Magic with the softball team,” captain Kyra Kreuscher said. “It is such a great experience to shop for children who do not have much. Each player gets paired with a child and their wish list. While I’m shopping, I think about how happy these children will be when they wake up Christmas morning and open these presents.”

“It shows me how fortunate I am,” Madison Sturtz said. “The experience that comes with giving back to these kids is so rewarding, especially around this time of year.”
