About:
The West Islip varsity and junior varsity girls volleyball team held its annual Dezy Strong event on Oct. 7. The teams’ fundraising efforts garnered a $1,400 donation to the Dezy Strong Foundation. Matthew “Dezy” DiStefano’s “We Get To” mantra has become a common term among the foundation’s supporters. The Dezy Strong Foundation carries on Dezy’s legacy and mission to provide the opportunity for individuals who are fighting cancer to have access to support, thus promoting a positive mental well-being.
