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
