Go Gold campaign is a great success for Frankie’s Mission
For the childhood cancer awareness foundation Frankie’s Mission, named after the son of founder Camille Loccisano, 2016 is already shaping up to be a promising year.
To kick the year off, the organization gathered at the Green Spa and Wellness Center, which presented the group with a check for $1,000 to aid families coping with pediatric cancer. The donation was a result of Frankie’s Mission’s September, 2015, Go Gold campaign, meant to engage local businesses, residents, educational institutions and groups in the organization’s cause during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month.
From Park Slope to Bensonhurst, gold ribbons were pinned in honor of those coping with pediatric cancer and their families. ALC Italian Grocery, Beyond Dance, Body Reserve of Park Slope, the Book Mark Shoppe, C-Gal Jewelers, Charmed of Third Avenue, Investors Bank, Kaleidoscope Toy Store, Lighthouse Diner, Norma’s Craft Store, Rocco’s Calamari, Sarta Realty, Pollina Pharmacy and PigGuyNYC are just a few of the businesses that took part in the pin-up campaign. As a result a significant amount of money was raised.
