The Long Island Board of Realtors just announced the winner of the 2009 Spirit Award! Debbie developed a program dedicated to helping children with special needs through sports. The program that Debbie has developed is a huge success and continues to grow as more people hear about what is being accomplished by letting the children play together. “Parents want their child to be on a team sport,” she says. Debbie explains that she has been trying to get Long Island SEPTA’s involved in her program so that each school district could have its own team and league. “Let’s collaborate and let them play each other,” she says.  Debbie is hard at work on another initiative to help these children lead a normal life. She has applied for a grant through the Town of Brookhaven for an adaptive playground to be built at Legion Field in Mastic Beach. There are approximately 200 special needs children in the area, with the closest adaptive playground a half hour away. The playground would also benefit hundreds of local physically able children.  The Long Island Board of Realtors Recognized her efforts, accomplishments and success, but most importantly her dedication to helping children.  She was awarded $1,000 towards her organization.�
Congratulations Debbie!
