Newark rally honors teen’s strength during holiday celebration

Newark’s Home for the Holidays parade wasn’t just about lights and cheer—it was a tribute to resilience, according to RochesterFirst.com.


This year’s grand marshal, Tanner LaMagna, is a local teen who was paralyzed in a BMX accident just five months ago. His determination and spirit inspired the community, earning him the spotlight and the rallying hashtag #TannerStrong.

Mayor Jonathan Taylor said Tanner’s courage has uplifted the entire village, showing the true meaning of the season.
