Sewanhaka Students Raise $500 for Juvenile Diabetes Research

Seventh and eighth grade students from Sewanhaka High School helped raise more than $500 for juvenile diabetes research by participating in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk.

Their fundraising efforts will help fund research for the cure of Juvenile Diabetes.

The students walked the 5K with Sewanhaka teacher Diane Ventura’s nephew Thomas Fitzsimons and his “Fitz’s Friends” group. The Sewanhaka students walked under the banner of “Fingertips of Steel.”

The walk was held on Oct. 25 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.
