McCourty Twins Donate $90,000 Worth of Chromebook to Nyack and East Ramapo School District

NYACK, NY – Super Bowl Champions, Devin & Jason McCourty of the New England Patriots are stepping in to address an urgent need in Rockland County, New York, purchasing $90,000 worth of Chromebooks for students who don’t have access to computers at home. The COVID-19 health crisis has closed schools across the country and hundreds of students in the East Ramapo and Nyack School districts are in need of chromebooks to be able to learn and continue their education online.

Even with this generous donation, there is still a need in the district and the McCourty Twins have partnered with the Rockland Community Foundation to set up a “Chromebooks for Kids” fund where people can donate money to buy more chromebooks for the rest of the students in need. You can donate directly by visiting McCourtyTwins.com

This issue hit home for Devin & Jason as they grew up in Rockland County, going to school in both districts. First attending Upper Nyack elementary school in Nyack and then later Chestnut Ridge middle school in East Ramapo.

“In the tough times that we’re in I believe supporting the students in Rockland will provide hope to the community and give the students a chance to be great,” said Devin. “It’s awesome to be able to support an area that helped make me who I am today.”

“What better way to give back than to help provide for the future, our youth”, added Jason. “My brother always said make sure blessings don’t stop with yourself, but that they flow through you. We believe this is an opportunity for us to use what we’ve been blessed with to help others!”

“It’s just amazing to see how Devin and Jason have not forgotten where they came from and look to help kids who need it most. “ – Spring Valley High School (East Ramapo School District) teacher and County Legislator Laurie Santulli

“While our schools are closed, the learning must continue,” said East Ramapo Central School District Superintendent Dr. Deborah Wortham. “Without question, our students will benefit directly from the generosity of the Chromebooks For Kids Fund. Now more than ever, children rely on technology to stay engaged with school. This effort will ensure our students have the digital resources needed to continue their education during this unprecedented time. We cannot thank Devin and Jason McCourty enough for investing in our community and in our schools.”

A new indoor entertainment destination is heading to Rockland County, as Slick City Action Park is preparing to make its way to West Nyack.

Promising giant slides, air courts and plenty of high-energy attractions, Slick City is expected to bring a different kind of entertainment experience to the area for families, children and thrill-seekers.

Unlike traditional trampoline parks, Slick City Action Park focuses on indoor action attractions, including large slides, air courts and interactive activities designed to keep visitors moving and entertained.

The concept offers an opportunity for families looking for an exciting place to spend time together, particularly during colder months and rainy days when outdoor activities are limited.

The upcoming West Nyack location is expected to add another entertainment option to Rockland County, giving residents a new destination for family outings, birthday celebrations and group activities.

While additional details, including the anticipated opening date, operating hours, admission prices and specific attractions, have yet to be confirmed, excitement is building over the arrival of this new indoor attraction.

For Rockland County residents, the question is no longer whether there’s something new to do — it’s how soon they can experience it.

The Slick City West Nyack location is officially scheduled to open in December 2026. 
While an exact calendar day for the grand opening has not been announced yet, you can keep tabs on their progress or buy advanced tickets closer to the date directly through the Slick City West Nyack Portal.
