The Walt Whitman Girls Varsity Gymnastics Team attended the Long Island Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk on Sunday, October 11th at Jones Beach in honor and memory of former Gymnastics coach Mr. James Barish.
The walk raised more than $1.3 million for research with over 8,000 attendees. All of the funds go directly to cancer research, according to organizers in a recent Newsday article, because Cablevision covers the Bethpage foundation's administrative costs. The foundation honors Marc Lustgarten, a former Cablevision executive, who died in 1999 of pancreatic cancer.
Way to go girls!
