But on Saturday, the North Street Elementary School third-grader will be the one throwing the fundraiser in support of her father, Sgt. Roger Petrone, a 17-year veteran of the Greenwich Police Department. With the help of town organizations and community sponsors, Sydney has organized a fundraiser in which people can pay $1 to come to the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club between 4 and 7 p.m. Saturday to read books and play games.
