Music by Code Blue Albany
Once again, the Capital District favorite, Code Blue Albany, will be joining us for the Sep 2016 Walk, covering songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Join us!
The Puppet People of Schenectady
They’re alive!
The magic and wonder of puppetry will be back to visit at our Walk.
Come by and say hi to Mark and Michelle Carrigan as they move these enormous puppets among the walkers.
The Golf Outing was a blast
Rensselaer Honda again hosted the Tom Gorman Memorial Golf Outing in June, held at the Fairways Golf Course in Half Moon, NY, to benefit Lustgarten Foundation. The generosity of the golfers resulted in a record-breaking total for the day! And 100% of the proceeds will be used for pancreatic cancer research funded by Lustgarten Foundation.
“Dance Away Pancreatic Cancer”
We had a fantastic time on Saturday evening, March 19th, 2016 at our gala event honoring Dr. Jason Heckman, Dr. Rebecca Keim, and Mr. Andy James.
The event raised over $12,700!
Thank you to all who participated.
