STONY POINT, NY – Tonight we would like to recognize Kevin Nolan and the Stony Point Seals Inc. for raising $50,000 for 4-year-old Oscar Beckman.

Oscar Beckman was diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. He also has Cerebral Palsy, a vision impairment, is nonverbal, and has various other complications, including eating solids by mouth. Oscar really loves snuggling, holding hands, kisses, car horns and other loud noises, bright (colored) lights, bumpy rides, music, and strolls around the neighborhood.

“The Seals are an amazing organization that donates every penny they raise to those in need. Thank you Donna Jean for allowing me to help. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have met all of these amazing people. Thank you Supervisor Jim Monaghan and County Executive Eddie Day for your continued support. Thank you to the 420 people that helped me out on Facebook. And as special thanks to Matt Sloboda and his minions in Making Rockland Great Again. With out his group this wouldn’t have been possible.” said Kevin Nolan.

Today, Oscar was joined by family, friends, elected officials, and he got his parade! You can help support the Stony Point Seals by donating here.

Officially known as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday was originally meant to honor the country’s first president, George Washington. Eventually, the holiday included Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. Presidents Day is observed on the third Monday of February each year. 

According to the then-used Julian calendar, Washington was born in Virginia on Feb. 11, 1731. In 1752  Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved his birthday a year and 11 days to Feb. 22, 1732.

During the American Revolution, George Washington stayed at the DeWint House in Tappan. The DeWint House is the oldest surviving building in Rockland County. George Washington also camped out at Washington’s Encampment in West Nyack on Strawtown Road.

In such a world, it is important for us to constantly be reminded to be kind to one another and to give others hope whenever we can. A small and random gesture of kindness can go a long way.

Your kindness might make a world of difference to somebody. This is the best week for you to show your support for the cause and help out someone in need.”
