The Cpl Joe McCarthy Foundation

I would like to introduce you to a Saint Johns 501(c)3 registered charity called The Cpl Joe McCarthy Foundation.

This organization provides many services for local children and veterans. I've been volunteering with the Foundation for several years and whole-heartedly believe in the services they are providing to the area.

The Foundation is currently trying to raise funds for a Veterans Memorial that will be placed in the County Complex next to the St Johns Public Library. They've almost met their goal and are very, very close to having all of the funds necessary to erect the memorial. Please visit their website where you can learn more, make donations and purchase dog tags that will be displayed inside a case at the memorial. You'll also learn about all of the other children's and veteran's programs.

The Foundation will be hosting Summer Fun in the Park on June 12th. This year's event replaces the past annual Spring Fling event usually held at the County Fairgrounds. There will be water events at the pool, carnival games in the park and new this year is the Soap Box Derby, which I will be leading. You can pre-register for the derby by stopping by my studio for only $15. Registration after June 4th is $30. Bring the kids down to the park on June 12th for Summer Fun!

Thanks for your support.
