There are still amazing people in our community who give their time, heart and compassion to invest in the children of Long Island City and the surrounding neighborhoods!
Evangel Christian School is pleased to reinstate our boys Middle School basketball sports program for students from 6th to 8th Grade, we are so happy to be a part of the Q.S.A.A.L. League started by Mr. Dwayne Cumberbatch. The Evangel team is off to an amazing start in their first season with a 6-1 record! This team was started in large part due to the volunteer coaching provided by our amazing coach and community supporters, Mr. Peter Garcia who for years has volunteered and coached for our local YMCA in Long Island City. These gentlemen truly care about this community and continue to give back to it by investing in the young people of Long Island City and the surrounding neighborhoods
“We are just so thrilled for our students and thankful to our new coaches dedication and willingness to be mentors. Their volunteer efforts do more than just provide a basketball team, they help keep youth busy in the hours after school when a parent is typically working and also provides these children with a safe and fun place to go on the weekends. This basketball team continues to build on the sense of community created at Evangel and is a wonderful blessing for our school and the community. Not to mention this is an amazing start to a first year program, 6-1 in the first season is just outstanding!” Principal Marko said.
