STONY BROOK, N.Y. — After starting a T-shirt campaign to benefit essential workers and those working on the frontlines, Rebecca Kinsley of the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team has been named the Centereach Hyundai Student-Athlete of the Month on Friday.
 
Kinsley's campaign, "Together as One," was created just after a couple weeks at home following the closure of Stony Brook's campus. The rising senior conceptualized the idea of designing and selling a T-shirt for which 100 percent of the proceeds would go toward meals for healthcare and other essential workers.
 
The Manhasset native teamed with a friend from home to design the T-shirt's logo. She then located a website that would print them on an as-needed basis.
 
The campaign not only supports those working on the front lines, but also local restaurants affected by COVID-19.
 
Since beginning her campaign in mid-April, Kinsley estimates roughly $500 has been raised through T-shirt sales and donations to provide the meals.
 
Anyone interested in purchasing a T-shirt to support the campaign can do so here. Donations for meals are also being collected through Venmo at @Together-as-One.
 
If you know an essential worker who you would like to receive a meal from a local restaurant, please send an email to togetherasoneworld@gmail.com.
