(BRONX, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Scott M. Davis (D – Rockville Centre) was among the well-wishers that made the trek to Yankee Stadium on Monday, June 16 to congratulate Joan Hyland, founder of the Backyard Players and Friends’ Love Nana initiative, for being honored by the Yankees as part of HOPE (Helping Others Preserve and Excel) Week. During the on-field presentation, Love Nana received a $10,000 donation from the Yankees to further support their efforts to provide baby clothing, toys, books and blankets to families in need of assistance.
“Joan is the heart and soul of Love Nana, and she has done so much to support our community and extend a helping, loving hand to people in their hour of need,” Legislator Davis said. “Thank you to the Yankees for your generous donation and giving Joan and the entire Love Nana team resources that will help them positively impact even more lives through their selfless work!”
