Proceeds from the 37th Annual New Hyde Park Runners 8K (4.97 Miles) Championship Race benefited the Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warriors (NCFF-OWW) and local Boy Scouts. On Sept. 14, the NCFF-OWW and Scouts received $3,500 and $500 respectively, at the runner’s monthly meeting held at the Michael J. Tully Park, New Hyde Park.
