Fundraiser for The Pettiglio (Mac Eachern) Family of Dedham

Team Gerry invites you to a fundraiser for Gerry Pettiglio and family of Dedham on Friday, Nov. 18, 7 to 11 p.m. at in Newton.

Gerry was diagnosed in July with Stage 3 Bladder Cancer and has been out of work since.  He is currently receiving chemotheraphy twice a week and will be having his bladder removed in December. Gerry and his wife, Trisha (Mac Eachern) Pettiglio, have two children Andrew and Angie who have been amazing through this. They have been so strong as a family and have not asked for any help trying to do this on their own.

But as their friends and extended family we are stepping in and  trying to help as much as possible. We are looking for any type of donations for a raffle, door prizes and will be running a 50/50.  As it is for all those who have been down this road we know its not an easy one. All love and prayers are always gladly appreciated and accepted.
