Second Annual Casino Night
Our Second Annual Casino Night was held on Saturday, March 2,2020 at Leonards Palazzo of Great Neck, NY. It was a huge success and we would not have been able to do it without the generous donations of baskets and prizes, the sponsorships and all the help from our friends and family that gave so much of their time to help out. We can't thank you all enough for everything. A special thank you to Jack LaSala For all his help, his generous Grand Prize raffle donations and his support in everything we do.
Mary Brennan Inn Meal Sponsorship
For Leah's Birthday, this year and for the coming years, our Foundation will sponsor a meal at the Mary Brennan Inn in Hempstead. This year we sponsored not only her birthday but also another day and Leah's friends were able to serve over 500 people a hot meal. We helped prepare the meal, sorted clothes that were donated and helped stock the food pantry as well as any other things that were needed to help out. We are looking forward to the coming years as we all know that Leah would have loved to be there with us helping out.
Leah's Legacy Polar Bear Plunge
Leah loved participating in the Polar Bear Plunge in Long Beach on Superbowl Sunday to support the Make A Wish Foundation with her friends. “Leah's Legacy" again had a great turnout. The foundation presented the team with a donation on behalf of Leah's Legacy to Make A Wish.
Thank you to all who came out to support Make A Wish and to keep Leah's Legacy alive.
Bench Dedication
Through the sales of bracelets, a good friend of Leah, Casey Waldron, was able to raise enough money to purchase a bench and Crepe Myrtle tree in Leah's memory. It was placed on the New Hyde Park Memorial property by the Shack for all to see and remember Leah. SEPTA and the Best Buddies also dedicated 2 Butterfly Bushes and a beautiful plaque in Leah's name. We can't thank you enough for this beautiful dedication.
