Brookhaven celebrates successful Christmas in July Toy Drive


Daniel J. Panico Supervisor | Town of Brookhaven

Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced that the Town of Brookhaven’s 2025 Christmas in July Toy Drive was successful. The drive, which is organized by the Department of General Services’ Youth Bureau Division, aims to support the INTERFACE Holiday Toys for Kids Program ahead of the holiday season.

“I want to thank all the generous residents and local businesses whose contributions will help bring joy to children across Brookhaven this holiday season,” said Supervisor Panico. “Last year, the INTERFACE Holiday Toy Drive provided gifts for more than 2,100 families and over 8,300 children.”

This year’s toy drive ran from July 1 through July 25 with donations collected at 12 locations throughout the town. All toys collected will go directly to benefit the Brookhaven Youth Bureau’s INTERFACE Holiday 2025 Toys for Kids Program.

The INTERFACE Program operates as a partnership between the Town of Brookhaven, individuals, and businesses focused on supporting residents in need and addressing social issues in the community. The program also collaborates with community groups and colleges to raise awareness about volunteering and educational opportunities.

Residents seeking more information about the program can call 631-451-8011.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
