Without the assistance of corporate Long Island this program cannot survive.  With a yearly budget of approximately $220,000 we are constantly seeking corporate help.  Articles in the New York Times, Newsday and the pieces aired on News12 land CBS Sports have all helped, but more help is needed.  I will go anywhere at any time, at my own expense, to speak about these athletes in an attempt to gain the funds necessary to keep this program alive and flourishing.  The athletes of Long Island Sled Hockey, Inc. deserve that chance to compete.
