Car Show: Update
August 24, 2020
Amid sunny skies on a hot, summer evening during a pandemic, the Long Island community came out to show its support for the Michael Magro Foundation(MMF). The August 24th event, held at Cold Spring Country Club, featured more than eighty cars – classics, exotics, and other unique vehicles on display for the evening’s crowd. Chaired by Tom Galati and Larry Ruisi, the event was held to support Michael Magro Foundation’s programs, all of which support local families with a child battling pediatric cancer.
The event has raised over $8,500 for the Michael Magro Foundation programs, shy of the $10,000 goal. The link for the event remains open for those unable to join the fun due to COVID-19. For those wishing to support the event, click donate below.
School Supply Drive: Update
MMF school supply drive has been elevated to new heights! Thank you to all our generous donors throughout the past month, with your support we packed 100 Backpacks for NYU Winthrop Hospital Cancer Center for Kids and Hempstead Pediatrics. Two days before our girl scouts were due to arrive and assemble the packs, I received a call from Tommy Higgins, Area Manager at Amazon, and Chris Lupis, Operations Manager at Bethpage Amazon Distribution Center.

Tommy introduced the foundation and its mission to Amazon and requested some plastic water bottles to add to our backpack collection. When he presented his request to Chris, Chris asked for more information about the Michael Magro Foundation and did some of his own research. Tommy, Chris,
and Terrie spoke on a Saturday morning and Chris committed to a box of masks, lanyards, pens and a water bottle to be added to each child’s backpack. Monday, they arranged for these supplies to be delivered in preparation for the first 100 backpacks. Each child received a box of 50 face masks in addition to the other supplies mentioned.
