Northport High School teacher Don Strasser and 26 students from the Honor Society were commended Tuesday night for raising $250,000 at their Jan. 10 charity fundraiser -- A Midwinter Night’s Dream at OHEKA Castle, to benefit the Amyotrophic Later Sclerosis (ALS) Foundation. This was their fourth annual event and to date they have raised a total of $722,000 towards a cure for ALS, also commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Councilman Mark Cuthbertson and his fellow town board members presented a proclamation to the group. Above, the board is in the background and some members of the school group are in front.
