NASSAU COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS’ BURN CENTER FOUNDATION RECEIVES DONATION FOR NASSAU UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER BURN CENTER

The NY Islanders and the Steven Siller Foundation recently raised funds for three burn centers in the state of New York, Nassau University Medical Center Burn Center in East Meadow being one of the three recipients. The Nassau County Firefighters’ Burn Center Foundation received the check from the fund-raiser that was held earlier this year.  Several NUMC staff members attended the NY Islanders vs the NJ Devils game, with Paul Napoli, co-chair of the Nassau County Firefighters’ Burn Center Foundation, who accepted the check to benefit the NUMC Burn Center during pre-game ceremonies.
 
The Islanders have donated in excess of $20,000. to the Nassau County Firefighters’ Burn Center Foundation through numerous fundraisers held for the benefit of NUMC burn patients. The proceeds will be used to purchase specialized equipment to provide state of the art care to patients in the burn center at Nassau University Medical Center.  Joining Paul Napoli, during the check presentation, are some of the staff members from the burn center who attended the game.
