About:
The ALS Ride for Life made its way through the Sachem Central School District on May 17. The annual event takes place during ALS Awareness Month to raise funds and awareness about the devastating disease. The ride started at Sachem High School East, went to Sagamore Middle School, and ended at Chippewa Elementary School – gaining more and more Sachem students along the way. Students at each of the buildings gave the Ride a warm welcome, as they cheered and held signs with messages of hope.
This year, Sachem High School East and Sagamore Middle School presented the ALS Ride for Life Foundation with a $12,547 check. ALS Ride for Life Schools Coordinator Barbara Brown noted this was the most amount of money a district has raised for the event in its history. The funds go directly to supporting patients with ALS and their families.
