The Man #4
Jamal Davis was born at Kings County Hospital on August 5, 1977. Growing up, Jamal remained an avid sportsman. He’s been an athlete since the age of 6, playing baseball at P.S. 221, basketball at I.S. 391 and football for Sheepshead Bay High School. Later, he settled at Interboro Institute to pursue higher education.
After college, Jamal began working for Computer Generated Solutions as a Software Analyst for three years. During that time, Jamal’s mother became gravely ill and eventually succumbed to her illness. She passed on October 5th of 2007. He then dedicated and devoted his time focusing on his first love, football, his career and his younger brother, Marlon Lewis.
Then, on one unfortunate day, September 7, 2008, Jamal’s world would change forever. As the cornerback for the Brooklyn Seminoles, sporting the # 4 on that infamous jersey, with one collision, Jamal became seriously injured on the very first play of the game against the NYC Falcons. Jamal’s back and neck were broken in three places. The extent of his injuries left him paralyzed from the neck down.
He was immediately taken to Kings County Hospital (where he was coincidentally born) and later moved to Mt. Sinai in Manhattan. There, physical therapy was administered up to 3 hours a day. Then Jamal resided in his hometown Borough of Brooklyn at the Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center (David Minkin Rehabilitation Institute) up until the very sad day on Friday the 18th of March, 2011 when Jamal passed on to a better place. Jamal always welcomed all visitors. The Semi-Pro/ Minor League Community, Friends & family all came from around the globe to spend time with Jamal before his passing! Those were his most cherished times.
We, his family and friends created a special fund to help Jamal Davis through the tough times and tough days that was ahead of him. Donations to this cause helped Jamal with his livelihood, he was able to pay some hospital bills and was able to continue taking care of his younger brother with the support of other family members. This will be the third annual Jamal Davis Classic event & the Funds raised from here will go towards the scholarship that the Jamal Davis Fund is in works with. Along with Jamal's old High School, the fund financially supports outstanding Student Athletes on an annual basis so they are able to obtain a College Education in Jamal's name!
The event as always will be taking place on the last weekend of June, which will be on the 25th and the 26th at Samuel J. Tilden H.S. this year. Please come out and help us support our brother and this great effort to impact our youth's education. We all believe “we must stand together and help each other especially in times of need”. We’re asking that you keep Jamal in your thoughts and prayers as he watches over us !!! R.I.P. Jamal "Doo Doo" Davis We Love You !
Walk To Fight Breast Cancer
Shirley, New York
On Sunday June 7th, The Long Island Tribe participated in the 6th annual Long Island Two-Day Walk To Fight Breast Cancer, Inc. (www.li2day.org), a dynamic group who raises awareness and funding for the fight against breast cancer on Long Island. 100% of the donations are distributed to grassroots service organizations of the Long Island Community. The players and coaches volunteered at a rest stop/hydration station along the 15 mile route, where they had the opportunity to interact with and cheer on the walkers. Realizing that Long Island has the highest incidence of Breast Cancer in the country, the guys freely volunteered their time and came out to show support.

Walk To Fight Breast Cancer
On Sunday June 8th, The Long Island Tribe participated in the 5th annual Long Island two-day walk to fight Breast Cancer. The walk is organized by the Long Island two-day walk to fight Breast Cancer, Inc. (www.li2day.org), a dynamic group who raises awareness and funding for the fight against breast cancer on Long Island. 100% of the donations are distributed to grassroots service organizations of the Long Island Community. The members of the team volunteered at a rest stop/hydration station along the 15 mile route, where they had the opportunity to interact with and cheer on the walkers. The participants were as diverse as their reasons for being there, as some were survivors, some were well-wishers, and even some for whom the 15 mile walk was minuscule with the current challenges they face in chemotherapy, and or radiation therapy. One young lady, Jessica, who had stopped at the Tribe's rest-stop defied all odds, and at times, relentless requests by the local EMT's to be driven to the finish line, all the while with Jessica saying, "I didn't endure surgery and chemo, only to be driven to the end...I'm walking it!" What was more remarkable about her drive was the fact that she was only discharged from the hospital on Friday June 6th, and still had the hospital bands to prove it. "These ladies out here are what heart and determination are all about, and so for the few hours out of my Sunday, it is a small sacrifice to keep them going", said Tribe Linebacker George Moran. The enjoyment of the festivities on that day were not solely reserved for the walkers and volunteers, but even the fan favorite 'Crank', a beagle-terrier mix, owned by Tribe Defensive player and volunteer, Sean Leonard. Special thanks are extended to the Long Island Two Day Walk, Inc., and especially Stephanie Grazer, and Ellen Schreiber.
Tribe Football Goes Beyond The End Zone
Winthrop Hospital Critical Condition Pediatric Ward
The Long Island Tribe, teamed up with the C.L.A.S. Foundation, administered by the Spence family, to pay a visit to the Pediatric Unit of Winthrop University Hospital on Saturday March 15th, 2008. The members of the team had an opportunity to spend some time with the kids, who were currently undergoing treatment. The Tribe was able to provide the children with a little distraction, conversation, and tokens in the form of stuffed teddy bears with Tribe T-shirts, miniature footballs, and kids’ blankets. For all of the patients, from the youngest at 3 months to the oldest at 16 years of age, the experience was a positive one and mutually beneficial. “This is the first of many initiatives by the Tribe to contribute to the local community” said Tribe Executive Counsel. In a similar sentiment, “This was a feel-good day”, said team quarterback, Allen Robinson. The visit was led by Ms. Teresa Leoni, and was organized by the Coordinator of the hospital’s
Making an uncomfortable stay, a slightly bit more comfortable, if not just for a short while.
