4th Annual CP Nassau 5K
2020-11-01 07:30 - 11:00 UTC | Eisenhower Park, 1899 Park Boulevard, Westbury, NY, 11590, United States
We are all in this together.
That statement has taken on new meaning this year as we endure the COVID-19 Pandemic. At the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, we have faced many difficulties and challenges. We say proudly that “heroes work here” because thanks to the dedication, skill and selflessness of so many staff members, the individuals with disabilities who live in the homes we run have been kept safe and well cared for. Teachers, therapists and others have worked hard and innovatively to maintain long-distance learning and offer therapies via telehealth for the children and adults with developmental disabilities we serve. Our hearts are broken at the loss of some of the people we serve and co-workers as a result of the virus. We will never forget them and the difference they made in our world. The 2020 CP Nassau 5K will be a VIRTUAL one. It will still be great exercise, it will be fun and it will help raise funds for CP Nassau. These funds will help with the astronomical expenses the Agency has incurred as a result of COVID-19.
The CP Nassau 5K Walk, Run, Roll, Stroll – “This One’s For the Heroes” – Participation Requirements

This is not as hard as it may sound. We actually hope you will raise more and from past experience, lots of people do! Once you start asking people, they are generous! Share, share share on social media! Did you know, the average online donation is $50! YOU can do this!
*You have until November 5 to raise the $200. If you don’t raise the full amount, we will invoice you for the balance.

38th Annual Golf and Tennis Tournament
2020-09-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Eisenhower Park, 1899 Park Boulevard, Westbury, NY, 11590, United States
Hi,
We hope this letter finds you and your families well.
As a result of the COVID 19 crisis and all that our communities are facing, a decision was made to cancel our 2020 Golf & Tennis Tournament. Though our Golf & Tennis Tournament is always a very enjoyable event and is one of the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County’s (CP Nassau) most significant fundraisers, we felt it was the right and necessary decision to make.
We believe that in spite of many uncertainties, CP Nassau has been a stable supporter of children and adults with disabilities and their families for over 70 years. Our Golf & Tennis Tournament is a vital fundraiser for CP Nassau and with its cancellation; we know the Agency needs our support more than ever. We encourage you to help CP Nassau continue its vital services by making a donation, supporting our $5,000 raffle,
and/or participating in our online prize raffle. Any help would be appreciated. CP Nassau plans on coming out of the other end of the Covid-19 crisis stronger and more dedicated to those they serve.
We encourage you to take a look at the CP Nassau website at www.cpnassau.org and the CP Nassau Facebook page to see a myriad of stories of the COVID 19 experience for the Agency. We received a lot of positive media attention, many generous and caring members of the community came forward to help with PPEs and other donations and our staff worked hard to accomplish great things while keeping our participants safe and well cared for.
We thank you in advance for your support. You can utilize the following link to see the many ways you can support our efforts: www.cpnassau.org/event/golf . Once there, you can purchase $5,000 Raffle Tickets and/or make a donation. Look for a future link to purchase raffle tickets for exciting prizes.
We have rescheduled our event to August 5, 2021, and we hope you will once again join us for this premier outing.
With our sincere thanks,
The Mulligan Club
