LI Against Domestic Violence The Town Of Babylon & Suffolk County Law Enforcement Agencies Unite For Kickball For A Cause To Combat Domestic Violence
LI Against Domestic Violence (LIADV) is partnering with the Town of Babylon and Suffolk County Law Enforcement Agencies for a unique event - Kickball for a Cause: Battle of the Badges. The event, taking place September 27th at Venetian Shores Park in Lindenhurst, kicks off Domestic Violence Awareness Month and is intended to raise awareness of domestic violence; an issue that impacts thousands of adults, children & companion animals throughout Suffolk County each year.
“Kickball for a Cause is not just a game, but a powerful statement of unity” said Wendy Linsalata, Executive Director of LI Against Domestic Violence. “We are so appreciative of the support of Babylon Town Councilman Terence McSweeney & the Town of Babylon. We are joining forces with our longtime partners to bring light to the often-hidden issue of domestic violence”.
LIADV has been providing essential services to survivors for over 48 years by offering a 24-hour hotline, shelter services, court and precinct advocacy services, counseling, and vocational advocacy services. The organization also focuses on prevention through educational programming in both schools and businesses. Kickball for a Cause is a shining example of LIADV’s commitment to raising awareness and building community partnerships to address this pressing issue.
“I’m excited to collaborate with LIADV to support fundraising efforts for individuals facing difficult circumstances. By empowering victims and survivors, offering them
shelter and assistance, and collaborating with law enforcement, we can ensure they know there is help available” said Babylon Town Councilman Terrence McSweeney.
“Domestic violence casts a long shadow across our communities, often hidden behind closed doors. This kickball event shines a vital light on an issue that demands our attention and action. By coming together as a community, we send a powerful message that abuse will not be tolerated, and help is available. I commend L.I. Against Domestic Violence for their tireless efforts to raise awareness and provide resources to those in need” said District Attorney Ray Tierney.
“The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office is proud to have a strong partnership with LI Against Domestic Violence and honored to support their vital work. Domestic violence remains a critical issue in our community that is often shrouded in silence. Events like this kickball tournament play a crucial role in raising awareness and bringing our community together to confront this problem. I encourage everyone to come out, support this important cause, and cheer on our dedicated law enforcement officers and our LIADV partners,” said Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr.
“Domestic Violence involves a cycle of abuse that not only impacts the victim but the entire family—often occurring quietly behind closed doors. The Department’s Domestic Violence/Elder Abuse Bureau works tirelessly to ensure domestic incidents are addressed through a comprehensive approach of both enforcement
and outreach so victims receive justice and services. I commend LI Against Domestic Violence for hosting Kickball for a Cause, bringing law enforcement together to raise awareness for this crime that has too many suffering in silence” said Acting Suffolk County Police Commissioner Robert Waring. Come out and cheer for your favorite team! Admission is $10 per person (free for those 12 and under). Together, we can take a stand against domestic violence and make a difference in the lives of thousands who are impacted by this serious public health crisis. Venetian Shores Park is located at 850 Venetian Blvd. Lindenhurst. For more information on how you can support LIADV and to purchase tickets to Kickball for a Cause, please visit www. liadv.org.

Reworld™ Provides Essential Support For Homeless And At-Risk Children
Reworld™, a leading sustainable waste solutions company, recently served as a major sponsor and provided all the food for this year’s Backpack Pirates program, run by the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.
In addition to supplying the food, Reworld™ supported their supply drive, which contributed to the overall success of the program.
The annual event welcomed nearly 200 homeless and atrisk children to spend a day at summer camp, filled with exciting games, activities, and memorable experiences.
This marks the 3rd year that Reworld™ has provided food and support to the Backpack Pirates program.
“Providing food for the event ensures that these
children can enjoy their day without worry, allowing them to fully participate in the fun and create lasting memories,” said Maureen Early, Lead Community Relations Specialist at Reworld™.
“This event is especially meaningful for the kids, as it gives them opportunities to engage in activities they might not normally be able to experience.”
The Backpack Pirates program included a variety of engaging activities such as sports, field games, arts and crafts, treasure hunts, a theater show, swimming at the beach, DJ and dancing, and much more. By sponsoring this event, Reworld™ continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting local communities and
enhancing the lives of those in need.
These experiences are designed to boost self-esteem, encourage teamwork, and provide a sense of normalcy and joy that these children may not often have. The company’s contribution of a whole day’s worth of food ensures that all participants can focus on having fun and making memories, without the distraction of hunger.
“The need for assistance is growing each year,” said Greta Guarton, Executive Director of Long Island Coalition for the Homeless. “Our organization is beyond grateful to Reworld™ for their generous support and to other members of our community who come together to help our less fortunate neighbors.”

If you’re thinking about making a change that includes buying or selling a home, please feel free to call or email me. I’m happy to offer my expertise and guidance for any of your real estate needs.
In the meantime, here are a few tips to help you stay warm this fall.
• Consider weather-stripping windows and doors to keep drafts at bay.

• Install a smart thermostat to manage your home’s temperature ef ciently.
• Have your furnace checked, and stock up on rewood for cooler nights by the replace or outdoor repit.
Have a wonderful and ful lling autumn season. I hope to see all of you around town!
