A Great Time to Give Back to One Who Gave So Much

For decades, Bob Crocco was a prominent figure in the Orange community. He was known as the voice of the raffle tent at the Firemen’s Carnival, the talent coordinator of the Concerts at the Gazebo and a selfless volunteer always ready to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever he was needed.

Bob has been battling ALS for nearly two years and now, he can no longer work at his longtime job. Organizers are hoping everyone will come together to help him as he always came forward for the town.

The purpose of the event is to raise money to help offset medical expenses he and his family have, and continue to incur.  Funds raised will also go towards renovations of his home in an effort to make his life a little easier.  The night will also serve as an opportunity for all of Bob’s friends and family to gather together under one roof to show support and adoration for a friend who has spent so much of his life giving to others. 

The event will take place at the Italian American Club, 84 Chase Lane, West Haven, on Friday, March 4, 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Tickets are $40 and include live music by the RumRunners, raffles, food, beer, wine and soda.   

To purchase tickets, call Maureen Viola 203-745-7035, Donna Geraci 203-640-2865, Tony Raccio 203-506-8942 or Kathy Koshes McInnis 203-929-0724. Checks can be made payable to Robert Crocco and sent to 382 Longmeadow Rd. Orange, Ct 06477. Your tickets will be reserved for you at the door.  If you're unable to attend but wish to make a donation, note that on your check.
