The Firefighter Michael J. Cawley Memorial Foundation held its 23rd annual benefit on April 5 at Mulcahy’s in Wantagh, continuing its mission to support those affected by 9/11-related illnesses and to provide scholarships to students at Archbishop Molloy High School.
The event honors Michael J. Cawley, an FDNY firefighter who died while responding to the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Cawley, a Queens native and 1987 graduate of Archbishop Molloy, was known for his community service and dedication to helping others.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit both causes central to the foundation’s work.
