Hicksville Lacrosse Team Brighten up Child Cancer Patients' Day
The team has been visiting Winthrop University Hospital during the holidays for the past eight years.
During the holiday season, Hicksville High School varsity lacrosse coach Tom Kinsella and his team collected toys and gift cards to distribute to children with cancer and their family members at Winthrop Hospital.
The collection and visit is an annual event that was started eight years ago by Terry Magro, the mother of a Hicksville High School student and member of the lacrosse team who lost his battle with cancer. Hicksville’s lacrosse team is the only group that is permitted to visit room to room as part of the endeavor.
