(Glen Cove, Long Island NY - June 3, 2009) Mayor Ralph Suozzi invites you to experience your neighbors in an environment where everyone is equal. "I learned from the Nassau County Office of the Physically Challenged that 80% of all disabled are unemployed. That's an unacceptable figure. This Festival is about working together - disabled and able-bodied - to learn that in our hearts we are all the same - No Human Left Behind. Competition, work, volunteer and enjoy each other is what this weekend is all about."
