Members of
the Myles Scully Division #1 of Yonkers McLean Ave. Kids Drive Yonkers
The toy
drive has been organized and run by Division #1 member Jimmy Casey for over a
decade, and we were glad to see him fully recovered from his injuries suffered earlier
this year. “It’s all about the kids”, said Casey “I will never not be here”.

Hundreds
of people from the local area showed up with their donations, which were placed
in large bins provided by Liffy Van Lines.
The drive normally receives so many toys each year that they are able to
distribute them to other organizations that need them.

Division
#1 presented the S.A.IL. Institute with monetary donation and many individual
members dropped off toys throughout the day.

AOH Supports Yonkers Member in Need
Myles
Scully Division #1 Supports Fundraising Benefit for Yonkers Hibernian
 |
| Jimmy Casey Benefit was held at Danny Mac's in Yonkers |
The
members of the AOH were out in force on April 2nd to help support a
fundraising benefit for a fellow Hibernian in Yonkers.
Jimmy “Big Poppa” Casey is a proud member of Division #1 in Yonkers and suffered a terrible injury
back in January during the Blizzard of 2016.
He is a popular figure in the local Yonkers Community, where he has
organized and run the Annual Toys for Tots program over the last 14years.

| Division #1 Member Jimmy Casey |
Jimmy had
slipped on ice in front of his home the night of the blizzard and was knocked unconscious
by the fall. Jimmy lay exposed to the elements
where over 2 feet of snow fell in subzero temperatures. He was not discovered until the next morning
where he was found clinging to life. He
was stabilized by doctors, but he suffered from extreme frostbite on both of
his hands which subsequently required the amputation many of Jimmy’s fingers. The benefit was organized to assist with
Jimmy’s medical and rehabilitation expenses.

“The outpouring of support from the
AOH was tremendous,”
said Division President Kevin Ellis, “Once
we put the word out, the response was almost immediate.” Checks began arriving shortly there after
from Divisions and individual Hibernians across New York State.
Support even came away from as far as Chicago, Illinois & Roanoke, Virginia. “We were blown away when we received a check from Division #32 in Chicago,” said Ellis. “We even had individual members from Long Island drive up to show support for Jimmy.”

A total of
over $2,000 was received at the time of the benefit, and additional donations
are expected in the near future. When
combined with the contributions of Division #1 and its members, the total was
brought to over $4,000.

Jimmy
Casey continues to remain in the hospital during his recovery, and it is still
unclear at this point when he will be able to return to a normal life once he
is released. There were many at the
benefit who took notice of the large AOH presence at the benefit. “The
AOH is not just a fraternal organization, it is a true brotherhood,” said
Ellis, “That quality shined through for
everyone to see here today, Jimmy has a tough road ahead, but he will know that
he has his Hibernian brothers standing with him.”

Cavan Football Club Boxing Night 2013
Yonkers
AOH Supports Fellow Hibernian at Charity Boxing Tournament
The members
of Division One were out in force in Woodside Queens this week to support
fellow Hibernian Sean McEvoy as he
took part in a fundraising boxing tournament in support of The Cavan Football
and Social Club of New York. Sean is a
proud member of Division One and the owner of Danny Mac’s Bar in Yonkers.
Here is a Video of Sean's Fight
Members
joined other supporters on the bus trip to St. Mary’s in Woodside and were
treated to 7 amateur fights to raise money for the Cavan Organization. Sean’s fight was ruled a draw by the referee,
but members couldn’t help but feel Sean was the better fighter!
 |
| Everyone had a great night helping raise money for the Cavan Football Club |
The night
came to an exciting finish as Brother Ronan O’Brien made a surprise guest
appearance as a ring card girl in the final round of the final fight. Scratch one more thing off the bucket list!
 |
| Member Ronan O'brien wows the crowd during the final bout! |
Division One
is proud of Sean and all of the other volunteers who boxed and made this night
memorable for all!

The members were
undaunted by the challenge that lay before them on a day that saw no shortage
of volunteers! Members then boarded a bus provided by Always

Now in its 3rd year, the pub tour
has proven to be an important way for the division to thank all of the local
pubs and restaurants who generously sponsor it's
Annual Charity Golf Outing. “This event has grown each and every year” said Division President
Tom Allison, “We may need to hold two
pubs tours next year to accommodate the growing number of sponsors.”
 |
| Danny Mac's in Yonkers became a new sponsor this year |
The money that is raised at the annual golf outing
goes to support the Division’s Charities and Missions program, which
consistently donates in excess of $16,000 yearly to local Irish and Catholic
charities.

The membership would like to thank brother Peter Van Slyck and Always
East Transportation Co. for their efforts in making this event a huge
success each and every year!
