About:
This past February 10th, the Long Island Royals 2003 team hosted our annual Make a Wish fundraiser in honor of Daniel, a 4yo from Bay Shore whose wish was to go to Disney World and meet Mickey Mouse. This is an event we have held for multiple years, helping to grant a new wish every year to help a family going through a difficult time.
Though the main goal is to help our community, it is remarkable to see the impact this event has had on so many of the players over the last few years. We have had families form bonds and relationships with those outside of the team who are involved with the fundraisers. We also have past participants who are still in touch with the players from those respective years. This has been a successful event annually in many ways, teaching our boys respect, humility, perspective & appreciation while also helping grant these wishes.
