Children of all ages attended the annual Kids Party for a Cure on Sunday, October 19, at Dave and Buster's in The Mall at The Source in Westbury.  Debra Carrion, John Carrion and Rene Checchia were thrilled to co-chair this afternoon which raised over $119,000 for the Diabetes Research Institute.  The Party featured a delicious buffet dinner, video and arcade games, bowling, pool tables, super raffle prizes, and fabulous silent auction items, enjoyed by both children and parents.
