7th Annual Contractors For Kids 5K Walk/Run

The snow is finally gone and the 7th

Annual Contractors For Kids 5K Walk/Run is ready to go! 
Lace up those shoes and come out to support

this worthy charity that assists Long Island families in financial crisis due

to illness or injury to a child.  

This year's 5K will donate portions of its proceeds to

the family of a 20 month old child (Anthony) who suffers from Epileptic

Encephalopathy
caused by a rare genetic defect. 

Anthony was suffering up 1000 seizures a day.  He is currently on an adult medication which

is helping but is extremely dangerous. 

He and his family have to travel to Boston to meet with his neurologist

to monitor the effects of this medication. 

His illness has caused a major financial hardship for this family and

CFK has stepped in to help.









On April 26th, Contractors For Kids will hold its

seventh annual 5K run/walk in an effort to raise money for families suffering

financially due to their child’s illness or injury.  Concurrently the Three Village CSD will be

running a Health & Wellness Fair.
