16th Annual WBAB Cold Finger Run to Benefit KiDS NEED MoRE
Motorcycle Run from Garden City to Patchogue to Benefit Families Coping with Cancer
Thousands of Long Island motorcyclists will gather for the 16th Annual WBAB Cold Finger Run, lead by WBAB Afternoon Host "Fingers". This unique Long Island event is a benefit for the "Camp Adventure" Oncology Camp program led by the KiDS NEED MoRE organization, providing a free sleep away camp experience for kids coping with cancer and their families.
The WBAB Cold Finger Run takes participants on a 40-mile run beginning at the Cradle of Aviation in Garden City, and ending at Stereo Garden in Patchogue, where riders will be treated to food, live music and raffle prizes.
Over the past 15 years, the WBAB Cold Finger Run has raised crucial funds for Camp Adventure, a free sleep away camp for children undergoing cancer treatment and their siblings. Located on Shelter Island, Camp Adventure affords the opportunity for kids to enjoy the camp experience, while receiving care and medical treatment. The camp is run by volunteers and supported through donations from individuals and businesses.
