Strong Island Sound News Release


Patchogue, NY- A beautiful warm spring afternoon was the backdrop for a successful initial 'Shoot With the Pros' event in Holbrook between the Strong Island Sound of the ABA, Costco and Schneider's Childrens Hospital.

Representatives from all three organizations were on hand, and the two players that went up against the fans were none other than Raphael Edwards and Greg Cerillo.

Fans young and old took their turn to see if they have what it takes to go up against the pros. A good time was had by all and the bottom line was money was raised for a very good cause.

If you didn't get a chance to come out or would like another opportunity, you can visit Costco of Holbrook on Saturday, May 12 from 1 pm to 5 pm when the Sound will once again be on hand for the same cause.

For a $5 tax deductible donation, you can go head-to-head with a member of the Sound in a best out of five 3-point shooting contest. Think you have what it takes? Then come on down and have some fun while doing something for a good cause.

Prizes will include official Strong Island Sound gear, passes to future games, and many other prizes! Also, pictures and autographs will be available the entire time throughout the events.

Schneider Children's Hospital of New Hyde Park has been serving the Long Island and New York City communities since 1983. The 154-bed facility cares for children worldwide due to its reputation for excellence in pediatric cancer care, cardiology, digestive disorders, and surgery; as well as patients with hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, leukemia and diabetes.

Don't miss out on a chance to meet and greet players from Long Island's only professional basketball team. The Strong Island Sound are members of the American Basketball Association and promote a family-friendly and affordable atmosphere.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
