Backyard Breakfast helps raise money for charities

Posted

Just before the big event, members of the Rockville Centre St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee invited members of the community to join them on Sunday, March 19, for a special pancake breakfast with the Backyard Players and Friends — an inclusive, arts-based community nonprofit group.

Everybody enjoyed lots of hot and fluffy pancakes, which were served fresh off the griddle, along with a morning cup of coffee and juice.

The first annual Backyard Breakfast also served as a great opportunity to bring the community together to celebrate the holiday and help raise money for the three St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee charities — one local, one national and one Irish.

All of the donations raised by the event will go to help benefit the Ryan Patrick O’Shea Foundation, HELP Uganda, and the St. Laserian’s School in Ireland.
