The event is being sponsored by the Clarkstown PBA, the Town Board and Town Supervisor Alex Gromack.
‘€œThe passing of Dana left our community grieving,’€ said Town Supervisor Gromack. ‘€œWe are proud that in this tragedy we can reflect on her life in a positive way, bringing together the community and her friends to raise money for a scholarship fund.’€ Seventeen-year old Clarkstown North Honor Student Dana Sassano suffered fatal injuries after a car crash December 2010.
All proceeds will go to the Friends of Dana Foundation which will support a scholarship in her name as well as to continue Dana’s mission of helping people in need.
Players in grades 3-12 can register on March 18. The fee is $20 per player which will allow teams of three to participate in 5 minute games for students
