An excerpt from the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team website:
“They are a softball team like you’ve never seen. Nearly twenty veterans of the post-9/11 era have come together to form WWAST; the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team. As their name suggests, everyone on the team was injured in the line of duty and wears prosthesis of some sort. Their mission: “to raise awareness, through exhibition and celebrity softball games, of the sacrifices and resilience of our military, and highlight their ability to rise above any challenge.”
Please click on the link below to read more about them.

Please see the flyer below for their itinerary for this week.
Anyone participating in the motorcycle escort this Saturday June 22, for the WWAST, please be at the Radisson Hotel (110 Motor Parkway Hauppauge ) between 10:30-11:00 am. The escort will be leaving at 11:30 am. The Suffolk County PD will be leading the escort.

Long Island ABATE has no management costs. All of our members, including our officers are purely volunteer and do not take any compensation or salary for the work they do.
Every dime we raise goes to support our mission, or in cases where we raise money for veterans, we donate every penny we raise directly to those organizations. Long Island ABATE does not take any percentage of that money raised for its own purposes.
