Farmingdale Student Wins AHRC Walk T-shirt Design Contest

A Farmingdale High School Student has won the AHRC Walk T-Shirt design contest.

That means that when 1,200-plus walkers from across Long Island participate in the AHRC Walk on Sunday, Sept. 14, at Eisenhower Park, they will be wearing her artwork.

The winner, Haley Timko, who graduates Farmingdale High School in 2015, entered her design to AHRC Foundation’s t-shirt contest after being inspired from her participation in the New York State Olympics of the Visual Arts.

Farmingdale High School has been a top fundraiser and community partner for the AHRC Walk in past years.

Five contest finalists included Breanna Garry, Shannon Stellato, and Danielle Kertyzak of Massapequa High School and Clarence Wills of AHRC’s East Meadow Art Gallery. Final results were determined through public voting, with Timko receiving 324 votes for her design. The winning artist also receives a $500 award.

In addition to the walk, there is also a “5K Fun Run” being held prior to the start of the walk. For more information and to register, visit www.ahrcwalk.org
