Hofstra University’s softball team has been one of the most successful teams in the country over the past decade. The Pride have won 11 consecutive conference championships, including all seven Colonial Athletic Conference titles since the league was formed in 2002.

Just minutes before starting time at the Heroes Run 5K Run/Walk at Hewlett Point Beach Park in East Rockaway, George Dennis of Muttontown, Long Island seems at ease.

For the tenth consecutive year, members of the New York Knicks traded in their high tops for bowling shoes and took part in Knicks Bowl 10 at Manhattan’s Chelsea Piers. Joining members of the current New York roster were former Knicks Allan Houston, John Starks, Charles Smith and Dean Meminger. Proceeds of the event benefit the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization which works with all areas of Madison Square Garden to make dreams come true for underprivileged children, including those suffering from severe illness, homelessness, abuse, hunger and poverty.
