Help the Travel Club help a family devastated by cancer!


The Travel Club has decided to raise money for the family of Brandon Polito. He was just four years old when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. After he went into remission, he passed away just last year from pneumonia. During his battle with cancer, his mother lost her job and his father took a lot of time off from work. They currently have three kids and are on the verge of losing their house. Although Brandon wanted money donated to go to the Golisano's Children Hospital, we are going to send all proceeds to his parents. We want them to use the money as they wish, to pay for rent, medical expenses, or if they prefer give some or all to the Children's Hospital.

If everyone at MCC would donate just $.50, the Travel Club could raise $10,000 for this family.  There will be a table set up in the terrace, upstairs by the MarketPlace Tuesday, April 14th through Thursday, April 16th. Please stop by to drop in your $0.50 between 12-1 on any any of these days, the 14th, 15th, or 16th.

Thank you for helping the Travel Club raise money to help alleviate this family’s troubles.
