Councilwoman Berland with Terry Smith of the Dolan Family Health Center and the Huntington Youth Council

Huntington, NY - Councilwoman Susan A. Berland and the Huntington Youth Council were on hand at Tuesday's Town Board meeting to present Terry Smith of the Dolan Family Health Center with a check for $2,000.

The Huntington Youth Council raised this large sum of money by holding the Second Annual "Town Throw Down", a day of various athletic events held at Park Shore Day Camp.  High schools in the Town of Huntington created teams that battled against one another in events such as dodgeball, European handball, capture the flag, pie-eating, soccer, volleyball, basketball and more.

At the end of the day, Harborfields High School emerged as the victor of the Second Annual Huntington Youth Council's "Town Throw Down" and $2,000 was raised for children's vaccinations at the Dolan Family Health Center.

"The Second Annual 'Town Throw Down' was a huge success and I commend the Huntington Youth Council for their dedication to coordinating this event," commented Councilwoman Berland.  "The 'Town Throw Down' brought high schools together in the name of charity and healthy competition.  The Dolan Family Health Center is a wonderful facility that provides essential services for Huntington residents and we are happy to support them.  I would like to thank the Budah family of Park Day Camp for graciously hosting this event."
