About Hauppauge Heroes
Welcome to the Hauppauge Heroes page! Our mission is to unite our community in the fight against cancer. October 16th is a special day known as Hauppauge Heroes Day. This day is dedicated to anyone in our community who is fighting or has lost the battle to cancer.
Hauppauge Heroes Day - October 16th
On this day, everyone can wear their Hauppauge Heroes shirt in honor or remembrance of a loved one who has had cancer. It's a symbol of unity, support, and love for those battling this disease.
Light the Night Walk - October 19th
Following Hauppauge Heroes Day, we will gather 300+ Hauppauge families to join 5000 other Long Islanders at the Light the Night Walk at Eisenhower Park. Together, we'll walk in honor or remembrance of those dear to us who have faced cancer. Wearing our Hauppauge Heroes shirts, we will proudly represent our support for Hauppauge and all our loved ones.
Honoring Penny Wood
This year, we have the special privilege of honoring a brave 5th grader named Penny Wood, who has was diagnosed with leukemia in 2023. Her courage inspires us all and reminds us why we walk: to bring hope, awareness, and support to those fighting cancer.
Join us, become a part of Hauppauge Heroes, and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Together, we can light the night!
