This is the first time the two groups have come together to have a fundraising event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dr. Mark Parsons of Reed Eye Associates came to us and asked if we could do an event together,” says Laurie Napoleone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They like to do something called Pass the Tap, where they go to different craft beer locations, so this was local and Eli Fish was an awesome host to us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Eli Fish Brewing Company assisted with the food and music and we held some raffles. The $15 cover charge went towards our foundations and the rest went towards the food.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This goes to benefit both organizations and will help a lot of people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Michael Napoleone Memorial Foundation was created in 2007 in memory of Michael C. Napoleone, the eight year-old son of Mark and Laurie Napoleone from Batavia, NY who died from Burkitts Lymphoma\/Leukemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Michael’s illness, the community rallied around the family to assist with food, gas, medical bills and other necessities. The not-for-profit foundation was created to give back to those in need during their cancer treatments and to support research efforts in finding a cure for childhood cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/michaelshope.org\/about\n\n\n\n

The mission of Gilda’s Club of Rochester is to create welcoming communities of no cost support to those living with cancer, men, women, teens and children along with their families and friends. Their innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, education and social activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Named for legendary comedienne Gilda Radner, the first Gilda\u2019s Club opened in New York City in 1995. When Gilda\u2019s Club of Rochester opened for the first time in September 2000, there were 630 annual visits. Now they have over 17,800 visitors per year. Gilda’s Club of Rochester offers over 1,200 free programs each year to the men, women, teens and children whose lives have been impacted by cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nhttp:\/\/www.gildasclubrochester.org\/about-gildas\n\n\n\n
