Hauppauge Booster Club Receives $1,000 From Allstate Agent

A Haupppauge Allstate agent Rocco Caprioli will give a corporate grant on his behalf to the Hauppauge Booster Club. 

The Allstate Foundation approved a $1,000 grant to be made in Caprioli's name to be made out to the Hauppauge Booster Club under their Hands In The Community program. The agent, whose offices are at 201 Moreland Road, is a volunteer with the booster club. 

Started in 2003, Allstate's "Hands In The Community" program recognizes local volunteer efforts made by Allstate agents and staff  while providing financial support for non-profit organizations.  Caprioli said he regularly volunteers with the Hauppauge Youth Organization, formerly a member of its general board, and Hauppauge Booster Club. Caprioli's son plays football and baseball on Hauppauge's youth teams. 

Hauppauge High School's booster club was started by parents in 2008. Its activities include running a concession stand at varsity football games, photographing games,  annual scholarships, assistance providing tutoring as needed and more. 

Allstate cut the grant's check to the booster club on Jan. 29. Caprioli will present it to the organization at a future date, possibly at the upcoming football end of year party.
