About:
This special evening is a long standing tradition in Eastchester run by our student leaders in the Student Athletic Council. This year we hosted 9 teams which pay a fee to play and ask for suggested donations from spectators as they arrive. Our goal is to raise money and awareness, in which all proceeds go to a foundation making progress towards breast cancer. The game is played under the lights at Haindl Field and teams are coached by our Boys Football Players. Student volunteers help run all aspects of the event from announcing, time keeper, admissions, set-up and officiating. This year our fundraiser was nothing short of a success, raising $2400! This is one of many fundraisers and community events run by this group including the senior citizen dinner dance, pediatric cancer dodgeball tournament and candy for soldiers just to name a few.
