Sound Lead Community Awareness March
June 18, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Strong Island Sound News Release
Riverhead, NY- The Strong Island Sound joined in on this year's Riverhead Community Awareness March on June 1. It was the 22nd Annual 'Say NO to Drugs' March, which was led by none other than the Sound mascot, Shayken Bayke, team co-owner Michele Wuestman, assistant coach Greg Cerillo and guard Greg Cerillo, Jr.
Since 1983 Riverhead Community Awareness Program, Inc. (CAP), a not-for-profit agency, has been providing drug and alcohol prevention education programs for the Riverhead Central School District. Although CAP directly serves over 2,000 students a year through its prevention and counseling programs, it is best known for its two-year prevention program taught to over 750 fifth and sixth graders in Pulaski Street School by community volunteers and student peer leaders. The program ends with the annual Say NO To Drugs March in which students march from Pulaski Street School down to Main Street wearing Drug Free Body t-shirts.
Following the march, Riverhead Town Supervisor Phil Cardinale emceed a ceremony on the steps of Pulaski Street School in which Coach Cerillo and the players addressed the students and community. After the ceremony, the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge #1742 once again generously served a picnic lunch to all of the students.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams. For information on professional minor leagues, please see OSC's basketball section.
