Connolly School’s 9th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk-A-Thon on Oct. 16 brought together students, families, and community members in a powerful show of unity and compassion, raising $1,767 for Glen Cove Cares and the American Cancer Society. Organized by Susan Stanco, Nancy Gorman, and the Connolly Student Council, the event featured a pink-themed walk led by the Glen Cove Police and Fire Departments, a spirited performance of “Fight Song,” and a check presentation celebrating the students’ achievements. Principal James Grossane and Allison Hernandez joined the event, with Hernandez’s story adding heartfelt meaning to the day. Connolly’s 36 Student Council members ran a Pink Lemonade Stand and sold handmade bracelets, bows, and socks, with students like Julie Steinhauser, Damon Anand, and Isabella Martens leading creative fundraising efforts. The day reflected the school’s enduring commitment to community service and breast cancer awareness, honoring those affected while inspiring hope for a cure.
