Ride For Life!
Help The Kings Park Chamber of Commerce Beat ALS!
|
The 2008 Event started on May 4th. A
group of ALS patients in their power
wheelchairs set off from Montauk
Point on the ALS Ride for Life's
Eleventh Annual Journey of Hope.
Joined
by caregivers, family, friends and
supporters, these patients will travel
for 7 days through communities in
Suffolk, Nassau, Queens and finally into
Manhattan to create awareness and to
raise funds for a cure for ALS, also
known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
On Wednesday, May 7th there
was a breakfast at the Kings Park
High School sponsored by the Kings Park
Chamber of Commerce to send the riders
off to continue their journey of their
efforts to raise funs to help the cure
for ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease).

Kings Park
Relay For Life-May
30-31st 2008!
The American Cancer
Society and the
Kings Park Central
School District’s
staff and students
are joining together
again to participate
in a Relay for Life
on May 30-31, 2008
from 6:00 PM to 6:00
AM. Relay for Life
is an overnight team
effort. Teams are
made up of families,
neighbors, students,
staff,
organizations,
businesses and
community members to
reach a common bond
of raising funds to
strike back at
cancer. Tents can be
set up on the field
overnight. Teams are
generally made up of
8-12 members (but
there is no limit as
to the number of
people on your team)
and commit to having
at least one member
of the team on the
track at all times
during the entire
Relay. Each team has
a Team Captain. Each
team pledges money
to the American
Cancer Society. In
2006, Kings Park
raised close to
$120,000 during this
event.
The first lap of the
Relay honors cancer
survivors and the
entire community
becomes a support
group for these
people. The
survivors truly
become the
celebrities of the
Relay for Life.
One of the very
special moments in
the Relay is the
Luminary Ceremony
that takes place in
the evening.
Luminary bags are
placed around the
track inscribed with
the names of loved
ones, co-workers,
friends, neighbors
and family members
who have lost their
battle to cancer or
as a way to honor a
cancer survivor. As
darkness falls, the
candles are lit and
a ceremony is
conducted.
Celebrate the lives
of those who have
battled cancer. The
strength of
survivors inspires
others to continue
to fight.
Remember loved ones
lost to the disease.
At Relay, people who
have walked
alongside those
battling cancer can
grieve and find
healing.
Fight Back! We Relay
because we have been
touched by cancer
and desperately want
to put an end to the
disease. Make a
commitment to save
lives by taking up
the fight.
Meeting Dates
All Meetings will be
held at Kings Park
High School at 7:00
