West Islip High School varsity boys and girls lacrosse players recently participated in the Friends of the Postpartum Resource Center of New York’s eighth annual Sounds of Silence 5K Run/Walk at Jones Beach, raising more than $25,000 for the center, which is located in West Islip.
West Islip seniors Alyssa Gillespie and Trevor Wills not only participated, but also won first place in their respective female and male 18 and younger categories. In addition to the varsity athletes who ran in the event, many of West Islip’s middle school students received community service hours for their volunteerism leading up to and during the event.
