How Islander icon’s passion continues to help community
Clark Gillies, who won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the 1980s, continues to be a pillar of the community. Through the Clark Gillies Foundation, he recently made a $2 million grant to Huntington Hospital.PHILADELPHIA — You can take the Islanders out of Long Island, but not Clark Gillies.
It was a couple of weeks ago that I caught a link about Gillies’ charitable foundation having made a sizeable donation to Huntington Hospital. I’m pretty sure it was posted on Twitter by Gillies’ son-in-law, Justin Bourne.
(Yes, Gillies’ daughter, Brianna, is married to Bob Bourne’s son. The September 2011 wedding must have been an eight-ring ceremony.)
