About:
This matchup features the Boys Varsity Basketball Teams of Hewlett High School and Bellmore JFK High School, who came together to collect a total of $1200 in support of SIBS place.
For nearly two decades, we have been diligently raising funds for this noble cause. The players from Hewlett High School contributed by soliciting donations from local businesses and their own family members to support the initiative.
Since its inception in October 2000, SIBSPlace has adopted a psychosocial support model based on prevention theory, focusing on helping siblings of individuals with cancer or other devastating illnesses. Through various expressive activities and peer support, the program aims to empower these children, enhance their emotional well-being, and build their resilience, ultimately providing them with a sense of belonging and support akin to an extended family. In 2015, SIBSPlace, Inc. was established as a charitable foundation in collaboration with Mount Sinai South Nassau, solidifying its commitment to the community and its mission. https://sibsplace.org
