On Jan. 15, the Long Beach Athletic Department hosted the 5th Annual Beauty and the Beast fundraising event raising over $5,500 to benefit MSK Kids at Memorial Slone Kettering Cancer Center.

The daylong event started with an opening ceremony introducing the teams as they came into the gym to Olympic Fanfare,” and then cheerleader Theresa Perrone sang, “The National Anthem.” Followed by a performance from the Long Beach Varsity Competition Cheer team and a recognition ceremony honoring Trip Powers and his family.  Long Beach students, Josh Vobis and Paddy Henry, captains of the Marines Ice Hockey team, presented Trip with a framed varsity hockey jersey signed by the team. 

LBHS varsity gymnastic and wrestling teams shared the gym for their respective meets. Long Beach varsity gymnastics was part of a Tri-Meet against Bethpage High School and Oceanside High School and Long Beach varsity wrestling took on Baldwin High School. The Long Beach Marines won both the wrestling and gymnastics meets.

Over the last five years, proceeds from this event including t-shirt sales, raffles and concessions have totaled more than $25,000 to support MSK Kids.  While this event is a team effort, Long Beach Head Varsity Gymnastics Coach Jessica Tull is the heart and soul of it.

Special thanks to all the athletes, parents, community members and local businesses that contributed to the success of this year’s Beauty and the Beast event.
