Holiday cheer at NYU Langone through Teen Project, Charlie’s Champions

January 29, 2021 By Team Up 4 Community Leave a Comment

 ….. “In addition to the online giving platform, the Spirakis and Schmitt brothers had the opportunity again to enter into the W20 Foundation’s Team Up 4 Community Holiday Challenge. The W20 Foundation was started in 2007 by retired NY Islander Steve Webb.  The challenge showcases community service projects by Long Island organizations involving athletes whose goal is to assist in inspiring others to give back and make a difference in their communities.  The submission with the greatest number of votes is the recipient of a grant.  “We knew this contest would be challenging. There were many impressive entries with students helping others facing hardships due to Covid-19. Collectively, we reached out to our friends and teammates. Competition was really close, even to the last day,” commented Matthew Spirakis. “My high school wrestling coach, (Christopher Beihoff), and athletic trainer, (Christopher Napoli | NYU Langone Sports Medicine), are constant advocates of ours and were very helpful by publicizing the need to vote.”  Through the enormous participation of supporters, the Holiday Project received over 1,900 votes and was awarded the First Place $3,000 Grant for the second consecutive year. “
