Story by Steve Nicastro.
Long Beach resident Kerriann Cunningham has partnered with her gym, Crossfit Revenge of Levittown, to organize a "Run for the Beach" fundraiser to help the cit recover from Hurricane Sandy.
A school psychologist in Valley Stream District 24, Cunningham said she has gotten the entire district and the PTA community involved. She has also reached out to neighboring districts, including the Levittown Public School District, to take part in the fundraiser, and she's teamed up with Bryan Murphy, the creator of the Sandy Help LB Facebook page.
All proceeds from the event will go directly to families in need and toward helping Long Beach get back on their feet.
The event starts at 9 a.m. Saturday at Crossfit Revenge, at 2890 Hempstead Tpke. in Levittown. It will include a 5K race for adults, a fun run and other activities for kids and raffles to raise money.
Local businesses such as Frasada Salon and Spa in Oceanside, Fun Station in Lynbrook, Bikram Yoga of Rockville Centre, Runner's Stop in Lynbrook and other nearby restaurants have generously offered gift certificates to help in this endeavor, according to Cunningham.
