Queens residents flocked to PS 232 in Lindenwood last weekend to raise money for the New York Families for Autistic Children.
Hundreds of people attended the event, which was organized by Howard Beach residents Shyanna Constantino and Lisa Taveras and included a basketball tournament.
“Shyanna and Lisa wanted kids to be aware of what autism is,” said Shyanna’s mother, Sandra Constantino, who has a four-year-old daughter, Kaylene, who is autistic.
Constantino will be holding another autism fundraiser on April 21 at Cordon Bleu, located at 96-01 Jamaica Ave. in Woodhaven.
