Teenagers danced the night away for Frankie
At 21 years old, Matthew Durnin knew that he had to use his skills to benefit the less fortunate.
Durnin, a hip-hop dancer for Steps on Broadway, organized a dance marathon along with Paulette Benware and Colleen Volan, who helped put the event together. The event took place on April 27, putting children who need all the help they can get at the top of the list.
The proceeds from the Frankies Mission Pediatric Cancer Dance Marathon held at Holy Angels Academy in Bay Ridge — all went to the Francesco Loccisano Memorial Foundation, a non-profit corporation that provides assistance to children with cancer and their families, making of it a marvelous and triumphant party.
