A former Yankees great showed up at a local pizza place to support a great cause last night.
Mariano Rivera was at Patsy's Pizzeria in New Rochelle last night as part of the Friends of Karen fundraiser.
The organization provides emotional, financial and advocacy support for critically ill kids and their families. "It's a nice charity. We're out here raising funds for people in need," says Rivera.
Friends of Karen started in 1978 with one child, Karen MacInnes, and has since assisted more than 14,000 children and their families.
