he Sarah Grace Foundation for Children With Cancer, Inc. recently hosted its first ever virtual 5K race this spring, raising $4,800 to continue providing important programs and services for children and families affected by pediatric cancer. Given the fact that the goal of the Hicksville-based nonprofit organization is to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and provide comfort and support to families of children suffering from cancer, this aim has become that much more challenging in the midst of a pandemic. See the rest of the story on page 8. Hicksville News (USPS 346-720)

Opioid Resurgence
County renews fight against abuse (See page 3) Nassau County Executive Laura Curran hugs Victor Ciappa of Massapequa. The overdose death of his daughter Natalie in 2008 led the county to name its anti-opioid initiative after her. The pair both spoke at a June 22 press conference to announce a “re-engagement” of the initiative. (Art Raslich | Office of the Nassau County Executive)
