Philanthropy
is a large motivator for our club. Each year the club raises awareness and funds for Long Island based charities and humanitarian projects through our events and activities. This year we've partnered with...
The Michael Magro Foundation is a Long Island–based nonprofit dedicated to supporting children battling cancer and other serious illnesses, along with the families who care for them. Founded in 2005 in memory of Michael Magro, a 13-year-old Hicksville student who lost his battle with leukemia, the Foundation carries on Michael’s spirit of kindness, courage, and compassion by helping families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments.
Through its Life Essentials Program, the Foundation provides meaningful financial assistance for everyday needs that can quickly become overwhelming during a child’s treatment—from groceries, utilities, rent and transportation to prescriptions, co-pays and other household expenses. By easing these non-medical burdens, the Michael Magro Foundation allows families to focus more of their energy where it matters most: caring for their child and being together.
The Garden City Welcoming Club is proud to support the Michael Magro Foundation and its commitment to bringing comfort, stability, and a sense of normalcy to local families when they need it most.
