Hockey Team Donates Gifts to Hospital

On December 14, the Scarsdale Varsity Ice Hockey team donated over $1,000 in gifts to the Maria Fareri children's hospital in Valhalla.

High School Physical Education teacher James Synowiez, who coaches the team, reported:

"This season the Varsity Ice Hockey team was interested in donating or helping out a local charity. We decided that purchasing gifts to help make the holiday season brighter for children who are not able to be home with their families would be a great way to give back to the community. Each student-athlete was responsible for bringing at least one gift to the hospital on the donating day last Saturday morning, prior to our game. As a coach I was impressed with the selflessness our boys displayed and the amount of gifts that they showed up with. We look forward to making this an annual tradition!"
