“We are so grateful to all the wonderful people in the community that volunteered their time to put on this event,” said Ricky Palermo, President and CEO of the Ricky Palermo Foundation.  “Thanks to Kathy Paradowski, Ryan Hasenauer, Henry Wojtaszek and all the wonderful people at Batavia Downs who helped us along the way.  I want to also give thanks to all the folks at our foundation that worked hard in making sure this event was a success.  We were able to raise awareness and much needed funds to help our community and continue to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.”
