The funds were raised through the efforts of SIBOR’s Young Professionals Network (YPN), which held a raffle during SIBOR’s annual Realtor Day and Trade Show in March.

“The children of Staten Island are a priceless treasure, and we appreciate the opportunity to support the hospital’s efforts in treating children dealing with cancer,” said Phyllis Cangro, chair of YPN.

The YPN project was spearheaded by Realtor Sallyanne Malfi and Michele Santacroce of the law firm of Merlino & Gonzalez.

On the day of the donation, several members of SIBOR and its YPN group visited the hospital’s pediatric oncology unit and hand-delivered summer-themed gift baskets to the children.
