What a day.
We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who showed up yesterday and helped make the Long Island Promise Walk such a success , even in the middle of a nor’easter!
To everyone who braved the weather, volunteered, donated, sponsored, contributed, and supported this event in any way: thank you. Seeing so many people come together despite the storm meant more to us than we can put into words.
A huge thank you to all of our incredible sponsors who helped make this day possible. A special thank you to Northwell Health and Helping Hands Psychotherapy for not only coming out and holding down their tables through the crazy weather, but for sharing such incredibly moving and meaningful words with all of us.
Thank you again to our DJ, John Ferrara, for generously donating his time and keeping the energy going all day, and to All Star Party Rentals for the amazing carnival games, photo booth, popcorn, cotton candy, and so much of the fun that made the day special for our families.
And an enormous thank you to Rockville Centre Schools for allowing us to use their facilities and working with us every step of the way as we navigated the weather and moved our event indoors. We are so grateful for their flexibility and support.
We also want to see the day through your eyes! 📸 Please share your photos from the Walk and tag us so we can see and share them too!
And because of all of YOU, once yesterday’s cash donations are counted, we’ll be well over our $30,000 goal for this year! We couldn’t be more grateful to this incredible community.
If the weather kept you home yesterday but you would still like to support the Preeclampsia Foundation, there is still time to donate. Every donation helps support lifesaving research, education, and resources for families impacted by preeclampsia.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up for this community and making yesterday so special.
Love,
Alexis LaVacca and Andrea Bernardo 💗
