On Monday afternoon, with only 48 hours left before the biggest game of the year, the TZHS Boys Varsity Basketball Team, accompanied by members of SOCASA paid a visit to the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center, in Valhalla, New York. The hospital, whose mission is to create a friendly safe haven for children who are battling illness, and to provide a family centered atmosphere to promote healing and wellness both at the hospital and the community at large, was the focus of last Wednesday's basketball fundraiser against Pearl River. The team partnered with SOCASA and were proud to present the hospital with a combined check in the amount of $ 400.00. Additionally, the students went out on their own to purchase toys and games to donate to the young patients. Students spent around 2 hours at the Hospital and were greatly humbled by the experience. For some it was a first encounter with the bitter reality of childhood illnesses.
