SLEEPY HOLLOW — The Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter will host a bridge lighting party from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, at Horan’s Landing, 57 River St. in Sleepy Hollow.
The Mario Cuomo Bridge will be lit that night in purple to kick off of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Westchester and Rockland counties, which will be held on Sunday, Oct. 2, and Sunday, Oct. 16, respectively.
Free hot meals will be provided by Gullotta House from J.P. Doyle’s and Hudson Anchor for a suggested donation of $10, which will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter.
