Pace Golf Outing resulted in a standing room only banquet dinner.

Sponsorships were graciously offered by LJC Dismantling Corporation, Suffolk Federal Credit Union and The Restaurant Association and thanks to their continued community efforts; Angela’s House was able to move children into the new home for the first time on August 21st.

He was a long time supporter of Angela’s House and was well respected and loved in the community.

“The support Angela’s House has received from the Pace family has been invaluable. Jimmy Pace from Pace’s Steak House and the law office of Rinaldo Pace has been generously supporting Angela’s House for the past 10 years. The determination of this family to always help has been critically important to our mission of assisting children that are medically frail.”, said Bob Policastro, Executive Director and founder.

“This was also a great way for parents to meet each other which is a great support in itself. The party was amazing and everyone had a great time. The families deserve to have this type of special day going to the beautiful handicapped accessible White Post Farms, which is one of the top places on Long Island for family fun. They enjoyed the petting zoo, playground, bounce rides and water slides.”
