Seaford's $57.8 million budget  in May includes funding for the Seaford Middle School spring season but not the fall and winter.

Save Seaford Sports has been trying to raise the necessary $135,500 needed to restore the fall and winter middle school sports teams, which includes football, field hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball, wrestling and cheerleading. The group held a fundraiser at  in Wantagh on July 14 followed by a car wash the next Saturday at . 

Save Seaford Sports was able to raise $6,450 from the Mulcahy's fundraiser, which was attended by 91 people. Entering last weekend, the organization was in need of $62,000 to bring back the fall middle school sports.
