About:
Members of East Rockaway School District’s boys and girls basketball teams will be collecting new and unwrapped toys for the Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop-University Hospital and the hospital’s pediatric unit during upcoming home games.
Toys will be collected at the door at the following games: the girls junior varsity game against Oceanside on Dec. 15 at 5:30 p.m., followed by the girls varsity game at 7:15 p.m.; and the boys junior varsity game against Mineola on Dec. 19 at 12 p.m., followed by the boys varsity game at 2 p.m.
The collection is being held in collaboration with Greggs’ Wings, a nonprofit organization founded by the Kienke family of East Rockaway. The family began the organization to honor Gregg Kienke, who lost his life to cancer just weeks after he was born
