Tickets are $20 and include $5 of free play at the Downs.

BOCES' Health Dimensions will calculate your blood pressure for a $1 donation and $5 haircuts from cosmetology students are also available.

She's now 4 and will be undergoing her third, and hopefully last, surgery around this month or next. All benefit proceeds will be be used to help cover the expenses of Bridget’s care.
