In addition, the Commack BurgerFi will also be donating 15 percent of Sunday’s proceeds to support an employee’s three-year-old daughter, Paris Nieves who suffered third degree burns and lost her left eye in an accident and is currently undergoing reconstructive surgeries.

Funds raised will help assist with the Nieves’ families’ medical bills.

“Over the past year, we are proud to have become the go-to burger destination in Commack, seeing new and familiar faces as we serve our unrivaled better burger offerings,” owner Fred Forgione said. “We welcome the local community to celebrate with us during our weekend of festivities and we encourage everyone to give what they can to benefit this little girl that needs our help.”
