This year's proceeds will be going to
The 6th Annual Gus Cozzi Forever Dodgeball Tournament in 2024 will proudly support the Stokes family as its beneficiaries. Eddie Stokes, who grew up in Throggs Neck on Logan Avenue and later moved to City Island, is currently a dedicated member of the FDNY, serving with Engine 88/Ladder 38 in the Bronx on Belmont Avenue. He and his wife, Leanna, are the proud parents of two sons, Leo, age six, and Vincent, age three.
In November 2022, their oldest son, Leo, was diagnosed with leukemia. While he is currently doing well, his treatment is expected to continue through February 2025. Amidst caring for Leo, the family faced another challenge when Leanna was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in October 2023. Despite these incredibly difficult circumstances, the Stokes family has remained resilient and positive throughout their journey.
As they continue to battle these challenges, we invite our community to come together once again to show our unwavering love and support for this remarkable family.
