The 8th Annual Midwinter's Night Dream will take place on January 12, 2012 in Northport, New York.
A Midwinter Night’s Dream was founded in 2004 after Biology teacher, David Deutsch, was diagnosed with ALS (more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Inspired by his inevitable misfortune, sixteen Northport High School students banded together to start a following. Their goal was to raise funds and awareness for the awful disease that had stricken their beloved teacher; a healthy, thirty-five year old father of two.
Since it's inception, A Midwinter's Night Dream has raised more than $2million for ALS research, including the Packard Center.
