71 CHARITABLE ENDEAVORS SALVATION ARMY ANGEL TREE PROGRAM The Christmas holidays remind all of us how fortunate we are to be employed and to be able to support our fami- lies. The holidays also remind us of the difficul es that many familes who lack resources face, especially when trying to provide a Christmas holiday for their children. In November of 2016, USMX Vice President Anissa Frucci, spearheaded an office-wide Christmas gi -giving pro- gram with the employees of USMX, CCC Service Corp., and CRCCF, through the Salva on Army's Angel Tree program. The Salva on Army provided Ms. Frucci with a list of Angels (deserv- ing children), each of whom had a wish- list of two to three special items they wanted for Christ- mas. Each of our staff members then adopted at least one Angel for Christmas, and commi ed to fulfilling those Angels' Christmas wish lists. The joy of giving was clearly evident through the generous cache of presents that were assembled each day of the campaign. By the me the Salva- on Army picked up of all the presents for distribu on, our group had been able to provide for 35 Angels, who ranged in age from infants to toddlers to tweens to teens. The children would ul mately receive gi s ranging from clothes to dolls to games to drones— three Angels even received mountain bikes and helmets! We are extremely proud and are grateful to all of our Lyndhurst-based colleagues for the generosity and good ci zenship they exhibit, not just at the holidays, but each and every day. ILA CHILDREN'S FUND-USMX HOLE IN THE WALL GANG CAMP FUND CHARITY TOURNAMENT Seven-year-old Hole in the Wall Gang Camp Fund camper Nicholas Cirelli (stand- ing on chair next to his mother, Erin Cirelli) stole the hearts of over 350 people at the 2016 ILA Children's Fund and USMX's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp Fund Tournament, held Monday, May 23, 2016 at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township, New Jersey. Nicholas' father, Dino, and his mother, Erin, addressed the overflow crowd, and thanked USMX and the ILA and proudly accepted their do- na on of $100,000 on behalf of their son's special camp (pictured le to right are: Dino Cirelli, Erin Cirelli, Nicholas Cirelli, Dave Adam, and Harold Dagge ). Jimmy Canton, Hole in the Wall Gang Camp Fund Execu ve Director, thanked USMX's CEO Dave Adam and ILA President Harold Dagge for their 23-year commitment to this charity and for having partnered to raise nearly $3 million on its behalf. The Cirellis spoke of the struggles of Nicholas, and of his healthy brother, John. They said that camp not only offered a bright light in Nicholas' life, but also in John's, since he gets to enjoy Camp's sibling program. The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was founded by the late actor Paul Newman, for children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, and for their families, as a place where Newman said they can all "raise a li le hell," forget about their illness, and enjoy a typical summer camp experience. The Tournament day was a great one for USMX and the ILA, with over 250 golfers playing in the charity event, and a host of volunteers from the mari me industry. The ILA's Great Lakes District Council added $10,000 to the the monies raised at the ou ng. Young Nicholas, who had a blast at the sundae bar, jumped for joy when he found out he was going home with ckets to two games of his beloved New York Yankees, thanks to the gener- osity of Anthony & Vincent Marino of Container Mainten- nance Corp., and of Carol No as Lambos and Partners of the Lambos Firm, LLP. USMX would not be able to par cipate in this worthy endeavor if it were not for the generosity of our USMX Member part- ners. We truly appreciate your efforts each year on behalf of the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp charity.
