Westhampton Beach High School student Elizabeth Sultan recently earned first place in the 2025 Team Up 4 Community Holiday Heroes Contest for her impactful community service project, Peter’s Packages. She was awarded $3,000 to support its continued growth.
Through the project, which she named in memory of her father, Sultan provides thoughtfully curated care packages filled with items and resources that brought her comfort and healing during her own journey through grief.
Each Peter’s Package includes a variety of age-appropriate items such as puzzles, games, weighted blankets, crafts and other comfort materials designed to promote emotional well-being and moments of calm during difficult times. Items for the care packages are collected through an Amazon wish list, allowing community members to directly support the project’s mission.
To raise further funds and awareness about Peter’s Packages, Sultan partnered with her varsity soccer team, organizing a dedicated game focused on her cause. During the event, she raised funds and shared her project through the sale of T-shirts and cookies.
