Please help our good friend – former coach, AD, teacher, teammate, mentor and great father Jim Grasso as he begins treatment for pancreatic cancer. We are putting together a fund for the Grasso family as they deal with the expenses of Jim’s treatment and the family activities associated with being there with him as he deals with this health crisis.
For those not up to speed with Jim and his family –
Anna is a senior at Ridgewood High School and is graduating this month. She is off to the University of Alabama in the fall. (Money raised will help Anna be able to travel back and forth from school to see her dad)
Meghan will be finishing her Sophomore year at RHS and Joseph is graduating from BF in June and will be entering RHS in the fall.
For those of us who know Jim – he is ready for a fight and has many people in his corner praying for him.
We ask at this time to please keep this page off social media to respect the privacy of Jim and the sensitivity with his kids. Please pass this page along to anyone who may be interested in helping a really great family who has dedicated their lives to helping others….
