Jim Mc Cabe of Mc Cabe’s Moving and Storage sponsored a golf tournament fundraiser at Pine Valley Golf Course in Southington on Aug. 15 to benefit Parents 4 A Change, a Southington-based non-profit organization which aims to create an unfriendly community environment for drug use, as well as provide support for families in crisis. Mc Cabe’s Moving and Storage has sponsored the golf tournament for the past four years, and selected Parents 4 A Change as the charitable organization to benefit from this year’s event. A total of 79 golfers and more than 120 diners came out to participate in the tournament followed by a pig roast banquet at the Falcons Club in Southington. The participation and generosity of the golfers, diners, sponsoring individuals and companies helped raise more than $4,800 for Parents 4 A Change. Mary Marcuccio, founder of the organization, said she was thrilled when Mc Cabe offered to donate the proceeds from the tournament to her organization. “I’ve run the group, thus far, on my own personal funds and some private donations. I run the group as a volunteer, and all of the participants are volunteers as well. We only recently became a Connecticut nonprofit, but we are still unfunded. I really appreciate the generosity Jim Mc Cabe has shown my organization,” Marcuccio said. - complete article
