Glen Cove City School District Warns Of Solicitation Scam

The Glen Cove City School District is warning all businesses of companies falsely soliciting donations, via letter or phone call, for the district’s athletic teams.

Authorities were contacted after the athletic director received T-shirts claiming to be for distribution to the district’s basketball team with the names of several local businesses imprinted on the back.

The district says these companies are not affiliated with, or sanctioned by, the school district.

“The district appreciates the continued support and generosity of the local businesses in the community and hopes this alert reaches as many business owners as possible,” the Glen Cove City School District said in a statement.

If anyone has a question regarding the authenticity of a solicitation on behalf of the school district, you can contact the school district at 516-801-7010 and someone will confirm the authorized fundraising programs being conducted on behalf of the school district.

If you do receive an unauthorized solicitation, you can also contact the Glen Cove City Police Department.
