Nutley Business Owner Diagnosed With Cancer, Fundraiser Event Set

NUTLEY, NJ — The Nutley community will convene for a fundraising event in support of local resident and business owner Paul LaRegina, who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, from 7 to 11 p.m. on Friday, May 5.

According to organizers of the event, LaRegina, the owner of Elite Auto Body in Nutley, is currently receiving chemo treatments, and his cancer battle is creating “overwhelming” medical bills for his family. The fundraiser will help to cover costs that his insurance will not.

Tickets are $100. Food, beer and wine are included. The event will take place at the Nutley Elks Lodge, 242 Chestnut Street.

For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Eric at (973) 902-9259, Armando at (862) 208-9453, or email TeamPaulElite@gmail.com.

Supporters who can’t attend the May 5 event but still want to help can mail a donation to the Nutley PBA Local 33 Civic Association, re: Team Paul Elite, 11 Farmingdale Ave., Bloomfield NJ 07003.
