"The
event has been held traditionally on the last Saturday of January,"
event organizer Tom Gahan said. "We've never been let down by
the weather, the selfless support of the fantastic bands and
volunteers and the generosity of the community."
"Homelessness
often comes quickly and unexpectedly. Hurricane Sandy displaced
40,000 Long Islanders. We've seen the effects first hand. We want to
do our part to continue to help those folks. There are so many
heartbreaking stories. I hope to see some new faces at the benefit
this year. It's an easy way for people to help make a difference."
