At Annual Reception, ComeUnity Sports Athletes Reconnect; Hofstra University Volunteer of the Year Awarded
Another year of Starz ComeUnity Sports was celebrated at the program’s annual reception on Nov. 18 at The Main Event in Farmingdale.
ComeUnity is a competitive training and exercise program for about 100 adults with developmental disabilities – the Starz – who participate in basketball, bocce, bowling, skiing, softball and track and field.
At the annual reception, Starz athletes and coaches from the different sports came together to catch up and share a meal.
This year, athlete Noah Ackereizen presented Casey Petrone with the Hofstra University Volunteer of the Year Award. Casey is a Hofstra University graduate student. She first volunteered at the STARZ track meet in June with a classmate and returned in September with a group of friends for STARZ Softball at Eisenhower Park.
