East Islip Softball Team Bonds Through Christmas Charity Work

EAST ISLIP, NY - Showing a commitment to the wider community, East Islip High School’s varsity softball team continued its tradition of shopping for Long Island children in need, again teaming up with Christmas Magic, a local nonprofit organization.

The caring students shopped for and wrapped each present, purchased via donations from Christmas Magic.

The gifts will be delivered to a shelter in Mastic Beach by softball coach Jason McGowan.

“We had a great time shopping for these kids, knowing that they will wake up with a bunch of presents,” said senior Allison Dellorto. “It feels good to help those less fortunate than us.”

“It was a great night to bond with the team,” said fellow softball player Jenny Murphy. “I look forward to this every Christmas.”
