Nicholas John Memorial Fund Continues Supporting Children in Need

     The Nicholas John Zangara Memorial Fund was established in February 2006 to honor the memory of my son who was killed in Iraq on July 24, 2004.  Because of Nick’s love of children the foundation focuses on improving the quality of life for children and their families.  It is a non-profit organization that has raised funds over the past four years and donated funds to various children’s charities and organizations.  This foundation’s purpose is only a small gesture to describe how Nick cared for children but we are seeing how much this gesture is impacting many lives; just as Nick did. 

     Thanks to the generosity of the community we were able to raise money to benefit various children’s charities and youth programs.   The number of sponsors and donors continue to increase each year, which contributes to our achievement.  The Nicholas John Zangara Memorial Fund greatly appreciates the support of our sponsors and their interest in helping children and families.   Due to our success this year we are able to expand our support to more charities and youth programs in the greater Philadelphia area. 

     The following are some of the great organizations that were supported by the Nicholas John Zangara Memorial Fund this past year because of our continued success and fund raising efforts.

• Saint Jude Research Hospital
• Operation Warm
• Western PA School for Blind Children
• CATCH Inc. Gala and Children’s Festival
• The Joseph Lentz Fund: For Pediatric Brain Cancer Research
• The Briarcliffe Athletic Association
• The Brennan Nephrology Fund of St. Christopher’s Hospital
• Saint Edmund’s Home
• Shriners Hospital

The hope is to continue raising money in order to support the mission of the Nicholas John Zangara Memorial Fund.

 Sincerely and in memory of Nick,

 Richard Zangara
