ISenator Fuschillo and Assemblyman McDonough Secure $80,000 for the WFC

      In early September, the Wantagh Football Club officially celebrated the anticipation of the upcoming season with a Pep Rally at the Wantagh High School .  Over three hundred fifty youth football players and cheerleaders from the Wantagh/Seaford community joined in the special evening with their families. 

     The highlight of the evening was provided by two good friends of the WFC.  Special guests of honor, Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. and Assemblyman David McDonough, delighted the packed house with a monumental announcement.  The Senator and Assemblyman have worked to secure a $30,000 operating grant along with a $50,000 field upgrade.  Rally-goers greeted the news with several rousing ovations in gratitude to these two gentlemen who have been instrumental in the success the WFC has enjoyed since its inception three years ago and for their tireless commitment to improving the quality of life for residents of our community.  The Senator and Assemblyman have been impressed by the tremendous enthusiasm generated by previous WFC events and this Rally was yet another unique evening.            

     The operating grant insures the Club will continue as a flagship youth program for the children of the Wantagh/Seaford community while keeping registration fees reasonable.  The field upgrade will provide for continued improvements at the Mandalay Elementary School practice facility.  The WFC has already invested over $15,000 toward the improvement of the facility, as well as countless hours of donated labor by local contractors.       

     The astounding growth of the WFC is largely attributable to the direct involvement of Senator Fuschillo and Assemblyman McDonough, as well as Superintendent of Wantagh Schools, Dr. Carl Bonuso and the School Board.
