FIRST "eNVy" FUNDRAISER - HUGE SUCCESS

The new non-profit organization "eNVy" Embracing Noble Values for Young People established by the Vacchio Family; held their first fundraiser. The organization was established and inspired by the loss of their son/brother Nicky in October 2011. The event took place on Saturday, October 20th at Mulcahy's in Wantagh. In attendance were nearly 300 friends and family members of Nicky's. They raised nearly $10,000.00 in which they hope to offer college scholarship to local high school seniors this year. Their plan now will be to work in conjunction with the schools to find the ideal recipients. Although, they have plans to continue fundraising throughout the year - they plan for this to be their largest and annual event. For more information on the organization or to donate visit
