By Press Release

TUCKAHOE — Cannon Lodge #104 F&AM, 370 Main St, South Seaville and Star Lodge #65 F&AM, 2200 Rt. 50 Tuckahoe recently held a Fundraising Yard and Bake Sale for the benefit of Christine Ruggia of Ocean View, NJ at Cannon Lodge. Christina is six years old and was diagnosed with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of five. She is in remission at this time but requires another two years of treatment at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The two Masonic Lodges were able to raise through sales and donations over $2200 for her benefit and make a presentation of it on June 4, 2014 at Star Lodge. Many friends and members of the Masonic Fraternity were present. Donations for Christina can be made at Facebook page Christina Marie Charity.
