'Babylon Strong' T-Shirt Fundraiser Raises Money For Car Crash Victims

BABYLON, NY — The Babylon community has remained strong and united in the wake of a tragic car accident that has taken three lives—including two teenagers—and left three others hospitalized with severe injuries and a long road to recovery ahead.

Since the fatal car accident wreaked havoc on September 21, the community has mourned the loss of Riley Goot, 18, and Bella Trezza, 17, while Austin Trezza, Jack Murphy, 18, and Anthony Pagliuca, 16, were all hospitalized at local hospitals for treatment of serious injuries.

As the tight-knit community works towards healing, it's coming together to support the families affected by the tragedy, by fundraising to help with funeral and medical expenses.

One of those fundraisers was just launched by Long Island Design Co., a small business based out of West Babylon which has created "Babylon Strong" T-shirts available online for $20.

All proceeds go to helping the families affected by the crash.

On the T-shirt order page, the design company wrote:

"On September 21st, 5 teenagers were involved in a horrific car crash in West Babylon when another driver reportedly ran a red light, crashing into them.

"Long Island Design Co. is a small business based out of West Babylon - please help us support our community and the families of the teenagers involved in this tragedy.

"Shirts are available for pre-order only and will be available for pickup or local drop off in West Babylon in an estimated 2-3 weeks.

"Each shirt is $20. If you need to order multiple you can submit unlimited forms and pay for them all together."
