About:
Dezy day in an annual Suffolk Boys Volleyball fundraiser/game where we honor Coach Matt DiStefano who passed away from Cancer. Each player donated $15 to the foundation which gets them a warmup t-shirt for the game and then we run a concession/sell DezyStrong Merch with all the proceeds going to the foundation. The foundation works to ease the burden on families impacted with cancer. The main message of the day is about the Foundations slogan “We Get To” which is meant to symbolize living every day to the fullest. This year we worked with Sachem East to get custom jerseys for the boys to wear for the game. I’m not sure how much money earned for the foundation as my Varsity Parents run everything while were coaching the game.
