Under the exemplary leadership of Vickie Shaw and Susan Maher with support from Lyndsay Falco over 300 runners and walkers were recruited to participate in the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) annual run held Saturday, October 23, 2010. SADD helps students make positive decisions about challenges in their everyday lives.
In attendance at the event were Assembly Woman Jaffee, Supervisor Paul Whalen of Orangetown, and Councilman Denis Troy. In addition, Mr. Thom Kleiner, previous Supervisor of Orangetown attended and sounded the official starting horn.
This year, the proceeds from the event will finance guest speakers and presentations to raise awareness of prescription drug abuse at the middle and high school level.
The SADD club also plans to provide a significant donation to Courage to Conquer , a new foundation established to help South Orangetown Central School District Alumnus, 23 year old Allison Florio who is currently fighting a difficult battle with cancer.
Thank you to those who help and support this stellar work in our district.
