As many of you know, Sasha Gubanov was one of our directors here at DRNY. For over 10 years, they spent time screaming in the woods, fighting evil both in character and real life, and finding a second family. And now it’s time for us to come together as that community Sasha loved and help those going through similar stories, with maybe a little less screaming in the woods.
To honor Sasha, we’ve partnered with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to raise money to assist families going through their own cancer stories. We will be collecting donations leading up to and during community day. Join us at 6:30pm EST on May 2nd for our livestreamed event including prize raffles, crazy donation goals, and a special word from MSK. We’ve set our goal for $3,000. Can we do it?
The Livestream:
May 2nd at 6:30pm we will be going live from Forestburg Scout Reservation after we’ve finished a day of cleanup. Find us on Twitch to enjoy the stream (twitch account coming soon).
Livestream Schedule (All times in EST):
6:30pm - Livestream kicks off
6:40pm - A word from MSK
6:50pm - An update at where we are and the goals we are intending to hit
7:00pm - Let the craziness begin! Our directors will be performing a variety of crazy and silly stunts to help reach our donation goals. You’ll have to wait until the 2nd to see what each milestone will bring for our team!

8:00pm - Livestream wrap up and ending
