McCaffrey Presents Community Service Award to West Babylon Student

Suffolk County Legis. Kevin McCaffrey, R-Lindenhurst, recently had the opportunity to participate in West Babylon High School’s Senior Awards Ceremony, which was held in the school’s Performing Arts Center.

At the widely-attended event, McCaffrey presented an official proclamation to this year’s recipient of the Suffolk County Legislator’s Community Service Award, Samantha Mammarella.

Samantha was selected for this prestigious award due to her commitment to the community both inside and outside of her school. In addition to balancing her academic responsibilities, Samantha is heavily involved in a variety of student organizations such as Students Against Destructive Decisions, and Skills USA. Moreover, Samantha has devoted countless hours of service to local churches since being in the seventh grade, where she has assisted with fundraising and religious education.

“Samantha is an incredible young lady, not only because of her commitment to helping her peers and the community, but because she does all of this with passion,” said McCaffrey. “These days, we hear a lot of naysaying about today’s generation, but when I see someone like Samantha so driven to make a difference in the world, I have a lot of hope for our future. I wish Samantha the very best of health, happiness, and success in all of her future endeavors.”
