Friends, family and people from all over came out on Aug. 22 to help support Oceansider Philip Califano, 7, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain stem tumor. His family hosted a fundraiser for him at
Bracco’s Clam and Oyster bar in Freeport, which featured entertainment, games and fun for the whole family. All of the proceeds go to Philip’s treatment.
