"We're like a family," says Kevin Piro, a group member since 1997. He says what makes the program so great is the staff -- McArdle and Amy Scott. "Amy's like a den mother to us all, and Brian's like an older brother-father figure." The current group members are all fro…

Armed with baskets and buckets to hold their prizes, each child also had a smile that stretched from ear …
