On September 17, the Village of Islandia presented checks, each in the amount of $6,150, to both the Col. Francis S. Midura Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #12144 and the Postpartum Resource Center of New York. The money was raised from the 2nd Annual Bridges of Hope Pickleball Tournament, which took place on September 6.
This year’s tournament supported the Heroes & Heroines: Mental Health Support for Veterans and Women’s Postpartum Depression program. The daylong event raised $12,300.
