The Town of Smithtown will hold a Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, September 2nd at 6PM. Each year, the Town of Smithtown raises awareness for Childhood Cancers in the month of September through various activities and events. This year, the Daniela Conte Foundation has donated the lighting and ribbons to illuminate the tree in gold at Town Hall. This is in addition to adorning the fencing at Town Hall in gold ribbons and placing large awareness ribbons in front of the Parks Department and at the bull monument, provided courtesy of the Thomas Scully Foundation. Local mom and advocate; Amy Beach will be presenting the Smithtown Central School District with gold laces for students to “Lace up for Kids” in honor of her son Dylan. These efforts are intended to help fund and raise awareness, identify breakthroughs and fill gaps in the treatment landscape, and direct research to the areas with the greatest need.
