Her motto was, "One Day at a Time". Chief Warrant Officer Two Casey Frankoski from Renssealer refused to let anything get in the way of achieving her dreams. She became a Blackhawk Helicopter pilot and proudly served out country. She tragically passed away in March of 2024 in a military helicopter crash in Texas near the border with Mexico.
Casey's parents opened up about the tremendous loss of their daughter, and how you can help keep her legacy of service alive. The second annual BBQ Dinner and Golf Tournament is coming up next weekend, details are below. The money raised goes to the CW2 Casey Frankoski Memorial Fund, which just recently gave out $11,000 in scholarships to local schools.
