The event was hosted by Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) and the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association, with support from Glen Cove PBA, Glen Cove Auxiliary Police Department and the City of Glen Cove Department of Public Works.
The Nassau County PBA provided the backpacks and supplies to help prepare students for the upcoming school year.
