Varsity Coaches Gina Walling and Libby Courtemanche organized a multi-team breast cancer tournament on Sunday October 1st at Veterans Field. The tournament included nine Suffolk County Varsity FH teams including (Northport, West Babylon, Harborfields, Sachem East, Sachem North, Commack, Centereach, Rocky Point, and Ward Melville) Each team was given a new name such as Team Hope, Team Strength, Team Life, etc.
Teams contributed in various ways including a Chinese auction. We honored a former Field Hockey coach and All County Player Katie Hahn of Cold spring Harbor, a coach many of the Suffolk Coaches know well and/or played with or against.
In total the teams raised 2501.00. Four hundred of which was donated directly to Katie and her family.
