The Huntington High School Key Club's 13th annual K-Factor Talent Show will be this coming Friday! The show is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 17 in the auditorium of Huntington High School. Tickets are $10 at the door. Proceeds will benefit families who have a children facing a cancer diagnosis at Stony Brook University Hospital.

HOW IT BEGAN

The K-Factor Talent Show began 13 years ago when a former student, Kaila Harlan (class of 2009) was diagnosed with leukemia and needed help with the cost of surgery. Key Club, along with the help of students, staff, and local Huntington residents, rallied for Kaila and raised almost $10K for her procedure. The show was named after her and soon became a Huntington High School tradition.

Sadly, Kayla passed away just two years after the first show. After this K-Factor dedicated its funds to Relay for Life and then, our current focus, Rachel’s Dance for the Cure. 

This foundation was set up in memory of Rachel Antorino, the daughter of Aimee Antorino, a Huntington High School staff member and alumnus. Rachel passed away after a courageous battle against AML Leukemia at the age of 14 in August of 2018. 

DONATIONS

RACHEL’S DANCE FOR THE CURE RAISES MONEY TO HELP FAMILIES STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY AS THEIR CHILDREN FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES WHILE BEING TREATED AT STONY BROOK HOSPITAL PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY FACILITY.

"This show is so meaningful to me — it’s an amazing community effort as we raise money for pediatric cancer while watching talented students dance and sing on stage. Every penny we make for the show goes to these children and their families in need. This year we have many talented vocalists, dynamic dance performances, and comedy skits to entertain the crowd. It's truly wonderful to see the students and staff use their talents to help raise awareness for this beautiful cause. The show continues to impress and wow all who attend." - Aimee Antorino
