QuackerJack, who is proudly sponsored by Northwell Health-South Shore University Hospital, remained dedicated to interacting with the Long Island community, visiting schools, hospitals, businesses, parades, charity events and much more in Nassau and Suffolk County. QJ has been voted as the “Best Long Island Sports Mascot” 13 times in the annual “Best of Long Island” awards, presented by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.
