Queens County Young Democrats (QCYD) challenged some of the borough’s elected officials at its Fourth Annual Charity Basketball Game at the Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens in Astoria on Saturday night.
Elected officials and Young Democrats played a competitive but friendly game, with the Young Democrats emerging victorious for the first time in the event’s history, with a score of 43-36.
The game raised over $1,000 for the Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens (VB&GCQ), the largest after school program in western Queens, and collected non-perishable goods for families affected by Hurricane Maria.
