One Woman's Legacy


In 2005 the children of Mary Porcari Brady established an emergency support fund for nursing students in her name with the help of the MCC Foundation. Since then, the fund has helped 86 nursing students overcome unexpected financial challenges on the way to graduation.

Reporter Patrice Walsh (13WHAM News) captured the impact of this gift in a segment that aired on Monday, July 30. Family representative Chuck Porcari, Department of Nursing Chair Cheryl Mahoney and alumna Regina Civiletti, who benefitted from the fund, were interviewed.
