Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer, Deputy Supervisor Tony Martinez and the rest of the Town Board recently welcomed Asaf German, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Long Island Chapter’s Man of the Year who raised $460,000 for cancer research and treatment funding, to Town Hall. German, a North Babylon High School graduate, set the record for money raised by an individual in the organization’s history.
Supervisor Schaffer, also a graduate of North Babylon High School, congratulated German, who is a local real estate attorney, for shattering the old fundraising mark and creating a new standard. Some of German’s fellow North Babylon classmates who remain in contact were also in attendance, as they helped him collect donations.
