Rockland
and Orange County executives faced off Thursday night in the name of
charity.
Orange
County Executive Steven Neuhaus was victorious over Rockland Executive Ed Day
in a three-lap go-kart race at the Palisades Mall.
The
race was one of many happening in our region to benefit Penguin Plunge
of Nyack.
The
organization helps families with seriously ill children by paying for medical
bills and supplies.
This
year's efforts will benefit two little girls from the Hudson Valley.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said, “it’s supporting families that really need
it most, and as a father of four, it really hits home.”
Between
the race, a silent auction, and donations organizers hope to raise
$10,000.
