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.
