Mineola, NY – On Thursday evening, April 22, Huntington’s Oheka Castle will be the setting for the Fourth Annual Black and White Ball to benefit the Cancer Center for Kids (CCFK) at Winthrop-University Hospital. The Michael Magro Foundation – established by Paul and Terrie Magro of Hicksville to honor the memory of their son, Michael, who they lost to leukemia in 2004 – will be the honorees of the event. “Like the CCFK, The Michael Magro Foundation is committed to serving the emotional and quality-of-life needs of pediatric cancer patients and their families,” said Linda Sweeney, Practice Manager of the CCFK. “Whether it’s donating a special piece of medical equipment, underwriting a school re-entry program for patients transitioning back to school, or contributing life’s essentials to families whose children are in treatment, The Foundation prides itself on investing in children’s health, dignity and well-being. We are privileged to recognize them as this year’s Black and White Ball honorees.”   read more
