Huntington, N.Y. – Town of Huntington athletes swapped helmets, gloves, jerseys, skates, cleats, bats and other sporting equipment Saturday November 22nd at the Town of Huntington’s Biannual Sport Swap at the Dix Hills Ice Rink.
Residents were encouraged to drop off gently used hockey, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and figure skating equipment to the ice rink in March and received one voucher per item donated for the “Sport Swap”. Residents who were unable to make a donation ahead of time were permitted to “Shop the Swap” with a donation to the Huntington Youth Council. Members of the Huntington Youth Council were on hand to assist “Sport Swap” shoppers as they browsed through the donated merchandise.
“Sport Swap has been a tremendous success,” commented Councilwoman Berland. “The event also brought several sporting communities together as families picked up ‘new’ equipment and donated their ‘older’ equipment, which helps everyone. I would like to thank the Dix Hills Ice Rink staff for running everything smoothly and the Huntington Youth Council for their hard work in promoting the event and assisting residents as they swapped.”
