The Whitestone Memorial Day Parade, a staple of the neighborhood, is in danger of going out of existence, according to a Whitestone civic leader.

To help drum up funds for the beloved event, the American Legion Post of Whitestone, along with the Dwarf Giraffe Athletic League, will host a fund-raising dance Jan. 28., according to Al Centola.

The dance will take place at the league’s gym, at 149-50 15th Road at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the building Monday through Friday after 6 p.m. or by calling 917-748-9722.

All proceeds will go toward the Whitestone Memorial Day Parade Fund.
