Miller Place School District Stomps Out Cancer

Students, faculty and members of the Miller Place community recently packed the Miller Place High School auditorium for a benefit concert in honor of Kyle Martin, an Andrew Muller Primary School student who has cancer.

Mike DelGuidice of “Big Shot” and the Billy Joel Band came back to his hometown of Miller Place to help “Stomp Out Cancer.” Attendees donated through ticket sales, raffle sales, refreshment sales, T-shirt sales and DelGuidice’s CD sales. The community came together to donate a total of $14,000 to Kyle and his family to pay for upcoming hospital bills.

The Port Jefferson Teachers Association also assisted in the creation of this event in honor of Mrs. Martin, Kyle’s mother and a teacher in the Port Jefferson School District. Residents interested in donating to the Martin family are asked to send cash or checks made out to “Miller Place Teachers’ Association” to Nancy Sanders c/o Andrew Muller Primary School, 65 Lower Rocky Point Road in Miller Place.
