On Sunday, May 4, Northport celebrated its first-ever Star Wars Day, thanks to local pop-up event company History Repeatn’ and community businesses who participated in the day’s offerings, which included Star Wars-themed activities for all ages in Northport Village.
The “May the Fourth Be With You” event drew large crowds throughout the day; a portion of the proceeds generated by its success were donated to Vets Out of the Rough, a nonprofit organization helping Long Island veterans through golf, camaraderie and connection. This contribution will help support the organization’s mission to honor and support Long Island veterans.
This past Monday, May 12, History Repeatn’s Carol Taylor, John Daniello, Peter Gallo, and Jessica Driscoll presented a donation of $500 to Vets Out of the Rough during the organization’s weekly Monday Night Program dinner. A separate $200 donation from SweetArts of Northport was also presented.
Kathy Fal of Vets Out of the Rough expressed her gratitude, sharing that the funds will support the organization’s memorial garden project. Set for completion later this summer, the garden will provide a peaceful space for veterans and visitors to honor and remember those who have passed, she said.
“We love supporting this charity – they’re local and do so much good,” said Carol Taylor, co-founder of History Repeatn’.
