Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined with Town Clerk Richard LaMarca and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato to announce the Town’s partnership with Empire State Ride Long Island to host Long Island’s largest charitable cycling fundraiser to benefit cancer research, scheduled for Saturday, June 13^th. Over the past several years, this event has raised over $500,000 to support cancer research and clinical trials.

Town officials were joined by Co-Chairman of Empire State Ride Long Island, Steve Mars; Empire State Ride Founder Terry Bourgeois; and Senior Vice President of Oncology and Surgical Services for Catholic Health Dan Loen. 

“We are thrilled to once again partner with Catholic Health Cancer Institutes and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center to help raise this important funding which supports cancer research and clinical trials,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Ride to better health while cycling through beautiful beaches, woodlands, and historic destinations – in and around the Town of Oyster Bay’s exquisite north shore. With two wheels on the ground, you can help change the world!”

The event features four course lengths for riders of all ages and ability. All routes will begin on Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay, by the historic Oyster Bay Post Office. For those who can’t cycle but wish to attend and support the event, downtown Oyster Bay will also host a Health & Wellness Fair, hosted in partnership with the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce – as local businesses will line the streets with food, live music and fun activities for families. Those interested in learning more or signing up to ride and raise funds for the event, should visit www.esrlongisland.com.
