Joe Pizzi Fundraiser
Our own Jimmy Pipes ran a fundraiser that many of our brothers participated in. The money raised will go to outfit Joe’s Jeep with the necessary features, so he can drive again. His leg was amputated due to medical reasons, so this was an important charitable moment for our Council. You can still donate – please contact Jimmy Pipes directly or you can inquire at the club. Here are the boxes, so any of you who have one can reference them easily during the game.
