Jake June was treated in December for the stomach flu at Stony Brook Long Island Children's Hospital. On Monday, the six-year-old boy from Bayport returned to the hospital – though not as a patient.

"Because they took care of me, it's time for me to pay them back," said Jake, a first-grader at Academy Street Elementary School.

Jake thought of an idea for a fundraiser: He and his family sold home-brewed iced tea and home-baked cookies at his father's business, All Pro Sports Academy in Bellport, on March 2. His fundraiser yielded $275 in donations, which was used to purchase 1,800 coloring books that Jake donated on Monday to the hospital's pediatric emergency department for other kids who are treated there.
