Al and I wanted to take a minute to tell everyone about a benefit that’s going to be at Mulcahy’s for a great cause. In June, young Nick Polo was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was forced to undergo surgery to remove the tumor. A scary moment in any persons life especially someone at such a young age. Nick has shown what a strong young man he is, as well as his toughness as he continues to fight through this difficult recovery process. His strength is inspiring. On August 24th Mulcahy’s Pub in Wantagh will hold a benefit on Nick’s behalf. Most of the information is on the flyer above. The event will take place between 7-11pm and will include a buffet dinner, drink specials, auctions, raffles, and much more. Tickets for the benefit are $25. We hope everyone can come down to Mulchay’s and support Nick. Nick as well as the entire Polo family are great people, and it’s a pleasure having them as friends. This is an event we wouldn’t miss, and we hope everyone can make it down. We look forward to seeing everyone at Mulchay’s on the 24th.
