    On Friday March 2, the members of the Adelphi University American Sign Language (ASL) Club hosted a charity gala to raise awareness and money for Lead-K.

    The Language Equality & Acquisition for Deaf Kids, Lead-K, is a civil rights movement aiming to further the initiative for promoting language equality and acquisition to ensure that Deaf children are Kindergarten-ready.

    The ASL Gala offered raffles and auctions donated by local Williston Park restaurants and shops, live performances geared toward the deaf, dancing, refreshments and fun for everyone.
