The Sitrin Stars and Stripes Run-Walk is one of the biggest fund-raisers of the year for the organization's military rehabilitation program. One of the biggest services they provide is care for those wounded warriors who have been injured in combat situations. They are doing something new this year that allows you to do something really special!

It's back and I'm ready to roll. The Sitrin Celebrity Wheelchair basketball game returns to Utica college Thursday, April 16th with Syracuse University Men's Basketball legend Pearl Washington and former SU star Eric Devendorf. Olympian Erin Hamlin and Illusionists Leon Etienne and Romy Lowe are also back this year to take on the Sitrin players, the real stars of the game.

Syracuse University Basketball players C.J. Fair and Baye-Moussa Keita had the height advantage at the Sitrin Celebrity Wheelchair basketball game, forcing WKTV's Steve McMurray to stand on a box during his pre-game interview. It didn't help. The celebrities lost for the 12th straight year, even though we played 7 on 5 and scored a 10 point basket. The finals score - 58-42.

Tonight local celebrities will join together for a common cause and a lot of laughs. Syracuse University stars C.J Fair and Baye-Moussa Keita, Olympian Erin Hamlin, Illusionists Leon & Romy and I will take part in the annual Sitrin Celebrity Classic Wheelchair Basketball Game in the Utica College Clark Athletic Center.

This will be my third year running the Boilermaker 15k. I am especially excited this year because I have decided to participate in the charity bib program. I am going to be running for the Sitrin FundRacers. I hope that you will make a donation to help this wonderful organization.

The first Sitrin Stars & Stripes run/walk to benefit wounded warriors was a resounding success. Over 500 people were at SUNY IT to to support the cause.  Some held banners, while others made shirts to honor and remember those they were walking or running for.
