Unlike in past years, the more than 100 participants from Port Chester, Rye Brook and Greenwich carried water around the track at Port Chester High School on Sunday, Apr. 24 to symbolically support the millions in the world, mostly young girls and women, who must carry water for their family’s daily needs.</p>
