Wiffle Ball Fundraiser To Raise Money For Babylon Car Crash Victims

BABYLON, NY — The Babylon community has been reeling since September 21 when a tragic car accident took three lives—including those of two teenagers—and left three others hospitalized with severe injuries and a long road to recovery ahead.

The fateful accident killed Riley Goot, 18, and Bella Trezza, 17, after four days on life support, while Austin Trezza, Jack Murphy, 18, and Anthony Pagliuca, 16, have all been hospitalized at local hospitals for treatment of serious injuries.

As the teen's families try to remain hopeful about the future, the tight-knit community is trying to heal while coming together to support those affected by the tragedy, by fundraising to help with funeral and medical expenses.

On Sunday, October 13, a wiffle ball and flag football fundraiser will take place at Pape Field in West Babylon. A DJ, auction baskets, drink, food and a 50/50 raffle will all be offered to raise funds.

All proceeds will be donated equally to the families of the victims of the tragic car accident.

According to event organizers from West Babylon PAL Football and West Babylon Little League, registration for the event ends on October 9.

Participants may register to play wiffle ball, flag football or both, but those playing both must fill out separate forms for each sports.

Donations will be accepted on site when participants check in.

Organizers are also in need of donations of drinks, baked goods and food to be sold at the event.
