The Town of Oyster Bay is partnering with Massapequa-based Big Hy for Heroes organization to collect DVDs for those deployed and serving overseas in the United States Armed Forces as well as movies for children’s hospitals. Donations will be accepted during the month of September and then delivered to chaplains, commanding officers, sergeant majors and Sergeants around the globe to distribute to troops and arrange movie nights this holiday season.
The Big Hy for Heroes organization was founded in 2002 by Massapequa resident and WWII veteran Hyman Strachman who, along with his son Arthur Strachman, personally began sending DVDs to U.S. troops overseas. Over the years, Big Hy for Heroes has shipped hundreds of thousands of DVDs all around the world and continues to do so today.
Residents can donate DVDs at Town Hall North in Oyster Bay from Sept. 1 – 30: For more information, call (516) 624-6380.
