Gina Lieneck

Gina Lieneck worked for Suffolk BOCES for 19 years and just recently began a new career with Suffolk County Water Authority.

She is cofounder of Breezy’s Angels, a nonprofit softball organization designed to help girls who do not have the financial ability to play on a competitive travel softball team. She also organized a scholarship fundraising program and was a member of a team that built and maintained a softball field at Geiger Lake Park.

Ms. Lieneck became President/Owner of Breezy’s Field of Dreams indoor sports training facility. Her goal was to help each athlete become a better athlete, team member and an asset to society. She helped to guide and secure scholarships, raising over $150,000 to assist families in need.

She is currently the President of the Deer Park Community Association and was named Beautification Ambassador from the Town of Babylon. Working along with the Town on revitalizing her community, she chairs sensitive subjects that affect the community and quality of life. She also helps organize Breakfast with Santa and volunteers her time on an Annual Fall Festival. Ms. Lieneck runs a toy drive for Christmas, Easter basket drive, school supply drive and food drive for Thanksgiving, which distributes food to families and the homeless.

Her daughter, Brianna, was tragically killed in a boating accident 14 years ago at the age of 11. For the past 12 years, she has been a boating safety advocate to change the laws to better protect all participants on waterways. After many long years of advocating, Brianna’s Law was signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, using a phase-in period for all boaters to be certified with a boating safety class.

She continues to speak at boating safety classes to tell her story so that everyone comprehends the importance of the safety classes.
