The Bellport Middle School football team recently donated $2,100 to the American Cancer Society as part of the NFL’s Crucial Catch Against Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Awareness Month fundraiser.
The team worked hard off the field to raise money by handing out flyers in school and to family and friends requesting donations.
In the past 12 years, the team has raised and donated over $29,000.
The program's mission is to stress public safety, promote trust for local law enforcement, and to warn adolescents against falling susceptible to bad influences.

South Street School students in the Eastport-South Manor Central School District demonstrated their philanthropic skills through two collections this past month.
