Mark Glicini Meaningful Growth Foundation
Vol. 2 | Issue 11

COMMUNITY = SHARED SERVICE
This milestone belongs to all of us!
|
|
When we launched the Meaningful Growth Foundation, we believed in a simple yet powerful dream: community committed to compassion, initiative, and service could provide hope to cancer patients in desperate need.
That dream manifested into current reality through collective effort.
Surpassing $1,000,000 raised since inception illustrates the unwavering support of every advocate, donor, and volunteer who actively and intentionally stood beside us over the past five years.
Because of our altruistic love, cancer patients urgently seeking lifelines are receiving them through MGF.
From the bottom, middle, and top of our hearts: thank you!

EVENT RECAP
4th Annual Golf Outing at New York Country Club
|
|
This year’s outing was our biggest and most impactful one yet. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the NYC skyline in the distance, more than 61 golfers came together to play, build camaraderie, and give their:
• time
• resources
• energy
That’s what the most generous individuals do… and that’s what MGF is all about—giving all three: our time, our resources, and our energy.
It’s about others.
Always has been.
Always will be.
Even more inspiring, this year’s outing doubled fundraising totals from last year’s event — this reflects the incredible momentum around, behind, and within our Foundation.
Consistency is the major key; we are embodying that constancy together!

TO BE GREAT, COLLABORATE
Voices from JTCC
|
|
As briefly mentioned above, social workers from the John Theurer Cancer Center shared powerful stories about the significant impact our Foundation continues to have on patients and families navigating cancer treatment at Hackensack Meridian Hospital in NJ.
Their words served as an emotional reminder of why our mission matters and why we must continue to strive toward our long-term vision.
MGF does not fund research.
MGF provides hope through timely aid.

HOLD ON, POSSIBILITIES EXIST!
Words Worth > A Thousand Dollars

“They were there for me when I felt like I was drowning, throwing me a buoy of hope in my sea of despair. They provided me with financial assistance that I desperately needed. The assistance they provided didn’t just help me financially, but mentally and emotionally as well.”
