Walk for Wantagh Students Walk-a-thon

The Walk for Wantagh Students Walk-a-thon was Saturday July 12th and the walkers came out in numbers. They walked from Cedar Creek Park and followed the bike path down to the Jones Beach and then back. We want to say Thank You to anyone who made this event a success.  The Wantagh Students needed us to come together and raise funds to help pay for the Sports, Clubs and Extracurricular Activities which where cut in the contingency budget and together we all made a difference. The walk-a-thon was able to fundraise over $100,000. State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. (R-Merrick) also announced a $75,000 donation from the State Legislature, presented by him and Assemb. Dave McDonough (R-North Merrick) that makes $175,000 in one day.

I would like to thank Gil Cosenza from State Farm Insurance, Nino and Paula from Omni Gold / Omnibus Fashions 72 E Main Street, Charlie and Jill of Hoyler Electric and Bali Hair Salon for their generous support by sponsoring my son's and the other kids in this walk. Also Aaron Stein's "Around Babylon" blog the Jim and Kim Show / Party Marty from KJOY, WBAB and DJ Scott from DJ's of the World for helping make this a successful event.   Please view the WantaghSOS.org web site for more information on how you can help.

Together we can all make a difference! Thank You once again, Chris Lewis BabylonVillage.com
