Lucy Campasano’s contributions to the community have been robust and far-reaching for over 45 years . Lucy began her volunteer work in the 1970’s with the West Babylon Little League and the West Babylon Football Conference League, helping with team photos, working and stocking the concession stands and providing snacks for the athletes.

In 1986, Lucy joined the West Babylon Music Parents’ Association. She chaperoned band and color guard trips, sewed countless uniforms and flags and helped run the Bingo fundraisers. Lucy was a Religion teacher at Our Lady of Grace for many years and designed the brochures and bulletins for the parish. She selflessly volunteered at Christa House, a hospice center for patients with AIDS, during a time when fear kept others from being there. Lucy is a member of the West Babylon Chamber of Commerce and has been a member of every PTA in the district. For over 40 years, Lucy was a member of the West Babylon Parents of Sports, most of her years serving as the Treasurer. She shopped for events, worked the concession stand in the heat, the rain and the snow and helped raise over $175,000 in scholarships throughout the years. Lucy and her husband raised 4 children; two who are now working in education, a financial advisor and a doctor.

No matter how many volunteer hours she put in, her family always came first- homework and hot meals, bedtime stories and a solid example for her children. Lucy’s final West Babylon grandchild graduated in 2024, and she was still on the fields, at the awards ceremonies and helping at fundraisers. She did this all while serving twenty-nine years on the West Babylon Board of Education, acting as president for many years and positively changing the district and community for countless people. Lucy Campasano is a pillar of the community and an example of volunteerism at its best.
