The Centereach High School Field Hockey program has proudly concluded its fall fundraising clothing drive, finishing on a high note as players, coaches, and families came together to load a truck full of donations collected from the community.
Over the past several weeks, the team organized a school- and community-wide effort to gather gently used clothing, shoes, and household textiles in support of their upcoming season and team initiatives. The drive culminated this week with players rolling up their sleeves and working together to pack and load all donated items onto a transport truck headed for distribution and recycling centers.
“This wasn’t just about raising funds for our program,” said the Head Coach Christen. “It was about teamwork, leadership, and giving back. Our athletes took ownership of the entire process, and seeing them come together to finish strong today was really special.”
The donations not only help support the field hockey program’s equipment and travel needs, but also contribute to eco-friendly textile recycling efforts—keeping usable items out of landfills and putting them in the hands of those who need them. The team extends a heartfelt thank you to the Centereach community for their overwhelming support, and to all the parents and volunteers who helped organize, transport, and promote the drive.
