Town of Babylon Supervisor and Council Members issued a heartfelt thank-you to the Babylon Bocce Club for their extremely generous donation to Councilman Terence McSweeney’s annual toy drive in partnership with the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation.
Each year, the club’s contribution helps ensure that children and families facing hardship are still able to experience the joy of the holiday season. Councilman McSweeney noted that he is continually “amazed by how much this incredible club can provide for families and children who are less fortunate.” He praised the group’s unwavering
commitment to giving back, calling their generosity “one of the many things that make the Babylon community so special.”
Town of Babylon Deputy Supervisor and Councilman Tony Martinez also commended the club’s compassion, stating:
“The Babylon Bocce Club sets the standard for what community giving looks like. Their kindness makes a real difference in the lives of local families.”
Councilman McSweeney, who organizes the Marine Corps Toys for Tots toy drive each year, added:
“Each year, I’m humbled by the Bocce Club’s generosity. Their support ensures that countless children experience
the joy of the holiday season.”
Babylon Bocce Club President Santo Crocco expressed pride in his members’ continued dedication to the community, saying:
“Our club has always believed in lifting up our neighbors. If we can help make a child’s holiday brighter, then we’ve done our job. I’m incredibly proud of our members and the heart they put into this effort every year.”
