Pickleball with a purpose: BBP HS hosts tournament in support of Dezy Strong
On Feb. 14, students from the Bayport-Blue Point High School team sports elective participated in the first bracket-style pickleball tournament to raise awareness and support for the Dezy Strong Foundation. The entire school was invited to attend and cheer on the students and staff as they faced off in this exciting event.
The Dezy Strong Foundation was founded by Matthew Dezy DiStefano, who was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in February 2019 and sadly passed away in January 2020. The foundation is dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by cancer.
In the days leading up to the tournament, students showed their support by purchasing Dezy Strong gear and wearing it on Feb. 13. The tournament, held on Feb. 14, marked the culmination of their efforts to raise awareness for this important cause.
