A GoFundMe created by Pallet's sister-in-law, Nicole Fejka, has raised more than $21,500 as of Monday, Aug. 16.
The goal is to raise $100,000 for Pallet's wife, Michelle, and the couple's two daughters, 7-year-old Daniella and 2-year-old Angelina.
Pallett, a Yonkers native, died on Wednesday, Aug. 11 after a brief illness, according to his obituary. He owned The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie and Maximum Fitness in Newburgh.
"If Frank has helped you in any way, I would ask that you please consider a donation, however big or small, for his girls during this heartbreaking time," Fejka wrote. "Without him here, they will need it."
