"Remember we're out here for Greg."
Those were the words of Ashley Marchese, Smithtown High School West social studies/special education teacher and athletics coach, prior to the beginning of the fourth annual Greg
Sill Foundation Golf outing, held Monday at the Wind Watch Golf and Country Club.
The event was to honor the legacy of the late Greg Sill, the beloved Smithtown High School West history teacher. Sill passed away in March 2021. A GoFundMe page was created by his wife, Elizabeth, to raise money for what’s now called the Greg Sill “Be the Coffee Bean” Memorial Fund. More than $120,000 has been raised in scholarship money for local students, including an annual $5,000 scholarship for a Smithtown High School West and Smithtown High School East student.
Elizabeth, along with her three daughters, Emily, Isabella and Natalie attended Monday's event. At the golf fundraiser, locals participated in a lunch, golf outing and dinner, as well as purchased gift bags and raffles.
Many of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ staff were on hand, including Smithtown High School West Principal William Holl, West Assistant Principal Scott Johnson, Nesaquake Middle School Assistant Principal, Michael Freiberg, as well as former High School East Principal, Robert Rose.
