Brookhaven Fire Dept. & Ladies Auxiliary, Brookhaven, NY – 3rd Annual Chinese Auction
Paraco was eager to donate patio heaters and barbecue tanks as silent auction items for this year’s fundraising event. A percentage of the proceeds will support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors the sacrifice of firefighter Steven Siller, who lost his life saving others on September 11, 2001. The foundation builds mortgage-free smart homes for critically injured veterans and first responders.
Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation, Garden City, NY – Annual Golf Classic
Paraco’s support of children in need continues with this foundation, whose mission is to send more children with special needs to partnering summer camps. Funds raised through the outing will allow them to enjoy the experience as their peers do by swimming, participating in arts and crafts, playing sports, and going on field trips. Our support will undoubtedly help make many children’s dreams come true─affording them the opportunity to have fun, make new friends and build self-confidence and self-esteem. A special thanks to Andy Mirchin, Jeff Palen, Joe Roggio, and Rachel Sniffen for representing Paraco at the dinner following the golf event.
