Yankees and Mets fans weren’t the only ones celebrating this weekend—students at St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy in Flushing, Queens, hit a fundraising home run of their own.
On Friday, students participated in a dress-down fundraiser, wearing their favorite team jerseys to support hurricane relief efforts. For a $5 donation, they proudly represented their teams while raising funds for families impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
So far, the school has raised more than $1,600 for the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund. Principal Debora Hanna praised the students for their generosity, emphasizing the importance of community service as a valuable life lesson.
