What's New at MMF

Thank You, Ridgewood Savings Bank

We are incredibly grateful to Ridgewood Savings Bank for its generous $1,000 donation to the Michael Magro Foundation.

Your support helps us continue our mission of providing financial and emotional assistance to families battling pediatric cancer. Because of partners like Ridgewood Bank, we are able to ease the burden for families during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

Community support makes all the difference, and we are so thankful to stand alongside businesses that truly care.

From all of us at Michael Magro Foundation and the families we serve, thank you for believing in our mission and making an impact.

Coming Together for Rowyn Grace

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire community at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School of Long Island in Deer Park for your incredible support of the Welsh family and the mission of the Michael Magro Foundation.

A special thank you to Ms. Colon, Nursery teacher, for organizing such a meaningful and impactful fundraiser. Your leadership brought everyone together for a truly inspiring day of compassion, unity, and purpose.

Held in recognition of # WorldKidneyDay, the event helped raise awareness for pediatric chronic illnesses and kidney health. Your community support raised $500 on March 12th, supporting Rowyn Grace.

Your kindness and commitment make a lasting difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. We are deeply grateful to be part of such a supportive and compassionate community.

Turning Connections Into Impact

Frank Sanchez organized a networking mixer supporting the Drama Club of Long Island and the Michael Magro Foundation on St. Patrick’s Day at Double Tap Laser in Westbury. The crowd enjoyed karaoke and networking while supporting two local charities.

The 50/50 raised $160 for the Michael Magro Foundation.

Thank you to our winner who donated back $60 of her winnings.

We are all grateful for community support and spreading the word of our mission and vision for the foundation.

Coming Together for Rowyn Grace

On Saturday, March 14th, the gym at Long Island Lutheran High School (LuHi) was filled with energy, competition, and community as 32 teams took the court, from U9 players all the way to adults. Watching athletes of all ages play the game they love while supporting a meaningful cause was truly inspiring.



One of the most special parts of the day was seeing The Viscardi Center wheelchair athletes take the court once again at Magro Madness. This year, a few able-bodied players joined Viscardi in several games, making for an especially meaningful display of inclusion, teamwork, and the true spirit of the event.

This year, we also introduced official tournament jerseys, and seeing every player proudly wearing them brought a whole new level of excitement and unity to the day.

Magro Madness is more than just basketball. It is about bringing people together to support the mission of the Michael Magro Foundation, helping children and families facing pediatric cancer feel supported, seen, and surrounded by community.

Thank you to the players, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made the day so special. The smiles, the competition, and the spirit in that gym reminded us exactly why we do this.

A special thank you to the team that organizes this event, Jimmy Montana, Ed Hebron, and Julia Bentrawicz, for making this tournament such a success. Together, we raised $13,223!

On behalf of all of us at the Michael Magro Foundation, we are already looking forward to Magro Madness 2027.

A Meaningful Evening of Wellness and Connection

We were proud to help bring this special evening to life and grateful to be part of such a meaningful event, on March 26th at PureCare Pharmacy & Wellness for Beyond Symptoms: How Functional Medicine Treats the Mind, Body, and Soul.

The evening created an important opportunity for the community to come together and explore a more thoughtful, whole-body approach to health and wellness. We were inspired by the conversation led by Tom Amigdalos and Dr. Luis Fandos, with Prashant Gupta, Publisher of Roslyn Living, serving as moderator and guiding the discussion in such an engaging way.

We are also so grateful to Georgia Amigdalos of PureCare Pharmacy & Wellness for helping create a space for education, connection, and meaningful dialogue around functional medicine and integrative care.

Events like this are a powerful reminder that supporting wellness means looking beyond symptoms and recognizing the importance of caring for the whole person. We are grateful to have shared in an evening that brought people together in such a positive and impactful way.

Raising a Glass to Community

On March 25th, we hosted a networking event at wineUdesign in Hickville.

From the moment everyone arrived, the atmosphere felt inviting, relaxed, and full of positive energy. Creating custom wine blends made the evening especially unique and gave guests a fun, interactive way to connect, laugh, and enjoy something different together.

We are so grateful for opportunities like this to bring people together, build community, and create meaningful connections in such a memorable setting. It was the perfect event for networking, conversation, and a shared experience everyone could enjoy.

A special thank you to Laura for the wine-themed Pampered Chef raffle, and a big thank you to Vincenzo and the entire staff at wineUdesign for helping make the evening so enjoyable.
