Treyger organizes softball game to help autistic kids
Councilmember Mark Treyger has beaten plenty of opponents in his political career, but on July 14, he won a victory against autism.
Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) organized a charity softball game at MCU Park to raise money for a Coney Island-based non-profit group that works to raise awareness of autism.
The Coney Island Autism Angels faced off against the council member and his team, called Team Treyger in a game that raised an impressive $1,300 for the Angels. The group was founded by Veronica and Anthony Droz, whose daughter has autism. The group hosts workshops, conducts clothing drives, donates school supplies and works to educate the public about autism.
