Easing the Burden for Brooke & Sydney's Family

Support for Brooke & Sydney After the Sudden Loss of Their Father

We are heartbroken to share the sudden and unexpected passing of Marc Piccolino at just 45 years old. Marc leaves behind his two incredible daughters—Sydney (14) and Brooke (11)—and their loving mother, Lyndsey. His passing has left a profound void in their lives and in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

Sydney and Brooke both attend the Avonworth School District, where they are known for their kindness, spirit, and involvement. Brooke is a dedicated dancer here at eMotion Dance Academy in Pittsburgh, PA, and Sydney is a passionate volleyball player. As Lyndsey and the girls begin to navigate life without Marc, our studio community is coming together to support them during this unimaginably difficult time.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden that comes with such a tragic and sudden loss. These donations will go toward supporting the girls in continuing their activities—Brooke with dance, Sydney with volleyball—and assisting Lyndsey with any immediate or future expenses the family may face.

Above all, we want to give Lyndsey, Brooke, and Sydney the time and space to grieve and heal without the added stress of financial hardship. Our goal is to help them maintain a sense of normalcy and ensure the girls can continue doing what they love.

Please consider donating—every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to this family as they face the difficult road ahead.

With heartfelt thanks,

The eMotion Dance Academy Family
