Lord & Taylor Benefit Bash

The Sparacio Family, for the third time, has decorated their house for the Christmas Season.  All donations are given to the Little Angel Fund in honor of their NICU Grad, Kaelynne. You must see their house! It is just magical and spectacular. Take the time and visit 75 Lakeside Dr. in Farmingville, N.Y. and make a donation.  We want to thank Mike, Kim and all their family and friends for all their hard work and dedication. We've added a Photo Gallery, but the photos just don't do it justice, so stop by for a visit!

A special note of thanks to PSA Security for volunteering to patrol the house over the season to keep it safe!
