Bay Ridge Cares hosts ‘Sweet Sally Sunshine’ fundraiser
Members of Bay Ridge Cares, a volunteer organization that formed last year to help local families who had been burned out of their homes, is now organizing its charitable efforts around the plight of a little girl with a serious illness.
Bay Ridge Cares is holding a “Sweet Sally Sunshine” fundraiser to help the parents of one-year-old Sally Kabel pay for the little girl’s leukemia treatments. The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Wicked Monk restaurant-bar at 9510 Third Ave., from 2-5 p.m.
Organizers said there will be fun for everyone. A special area will be set up for activities for children. Kids will be able to have their faces painted, create chalk drawings on the sidewalk, take part in arts and crafts, and enjoy balloons, snacks, and music.
