DONATIONS PROVIDED TO “FRIEND IN NEED” CHARITY

The “Friend in Need” organization got two donations recently. The oganization helps many local families in Cape May County and is headed up by Avalon Mayor Marty Pagliughi. The first check presentation occurred at the Sand Barrens Golf Club, the host location for the Captain Mike Grey Memorial Golf Tournament held on June 5th, 2011. Event organizers joined “Friend in Need” for the check presentation by the clubhouse. The second presentation took place in Avalon at the 30th Street pavilion. This donation came from the annual Mull-Morial Memorial Day weekend fundraiser in Avalon that includes a 5k run beach run in Avalon followed by a beef and beer event at Jack’s Place. The event is held each year in the memory of Matthew Mullin, a six-year veteran of the Avalon Beach Patrol who tragically lost his life in a boating accident in Hong Kong when he was 26 years old.
