What:          The first annual “Give from the Heart”Atheletes for Alzheimer’s event was created to raise funds for ADRC programs that help those who suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease and their unpaid caregivers. The event is in memory of the late Dorothy C. Camilleri, a Bellmore resident who battled Alzheimer’s Disease for several years.

         Individuals and teams will participate in a daylong contest to determine who can perform the most sit-ups or push-ups in a given period of time. Molloy College, Kellenberg High School, Nancy Burner & Associates, and Dear Little Dollies have now registered for the event.

Volunteer coaches and Steel Fitness trainers will watch all participants to make sure the activities are done correctly and that the count is accurate. Awards will be presented to those who complete the most sit-ups or push-ups and for those who raise the most funds.

When:          Sunday, February 16
         8 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Where:          Steel Fitness Gym

         2742 Grand Ave, Bellmore, NY
