BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – Members of the C.W. Post softball team recently volunteered at the 4th Annual “Kicks for Cancer” fundraiser at Hauppauge High School.  The fundraiser was created by team member Alexis Gonzalez, in memory of her friend, Courtney Tomkin.  Courtney was a student at Hauppauge, who was diagnosed with brain cancer and unfortunately lost her battle with the disease.
 
The event consisted of selling raffle tickets, t-shirts, food and drinks, games and rides.  All of the money raised goes to the Making Headway Foundation as well as the American Cancer Society.
 
Each year, the event continues the grow and this year 26 high schools participated, which has pushed the fundraising total to $87,000 in three years.  The event hoped to reach the $100,000 mark this year.
