On Sunday October 24th, WAC Lighting president - Shelley Wang will be the Grand Marshall for the Gift of Life - Kids for Kids 5k Walk held in Morgan Park Glen Cove, NY from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Executive Producer Skeery Jones from Z100 will also be there giving out prizes and awards. The event is not a race, but designed to be both challenging and enjoyable for all. The Gift of Life began as a project of the Manhasset Rotary Club on Long Island, New York back in 1975. Back then Robbie Donno proposed to his club that they bring a 5-year old Ugandan girl to the United States for open heart surgery. This surgery was not available in Uganda and without it she would perish. That single act of kindness thirty-three years ago has grown into a worldwide movement that now embodies itself in fifty programs throughout the world. These programs have treated children from 64 countries and six continents. In October of 2008, GOL programs throughout the world celebrated the milestone of saving their 10,000th child .

This accomplishment was made possible by the efforts of countless Rotarians, volunteers, and healthcare professionals who over the past three decades have sacrificed their time for the common goal of saving a child in need.
