A special thank you to Stockertown Beverage for your very generous donation to the Michael Napoleone Memorial Foundation.

From Andrea Hugill: “Each year the Foundation travels here and helps local families battling a pediatric cancer diagnosis. This year they were able to “lend a hand for hope” to THREE local families. We were honored to meet some of the families and have them share their journey with us. We are and will continue to keep them all in our thoughts and prayers….thank you so much to the Michael Napoleone Memorial Foundation for doing such amazing work and helping so many families through such a difficult time.”

The Michael Napoleone Memorial Foundation and Gilda’s Club of Rochester, along with assistance from Eli Fish Brewing Company of Batavia, teamed up for a joint fundraising event. “Hops for Hope” raised funds to assist those with cancer and their families with expenses. The day included musical entertainment, a cornhole competition, food and specialty beers. It was a fun atmosphere to enjoy on a mid-February afternoon.

Town of Batavia Fire Dept. Donates $1,000 to MNMF

The Napoleones gratefully accepted a gift of $1,000 from the Town of Batavia Fire Department at their annual awards banquet.

“It really started with the idea from the president, Scott Garlock, and his wife Lynn, just trying to do something different at this year’s banquet from what we’ve done previously. Instead of buying a small gift for everyone that attended, we decided we would take the money we normally spend and come up with a local charity to give that money to,” Fire Chief Dan Coffey said.
