Joe Niekro Foundation -

Melt away the mid-winter blues at Barbagallo’s Restaurant in Syracuse, NY  was a huge success.  In conjunction with the CNY Brain Aneurysm Awareness Campaign, the event featured spirits and chocolate tastings, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment from three different bands, raffles, a silent auction and a cash bar. Each patron received a complimentary bottle of wine courtesy of Varick Farm and Winery. 

Proceeds of the event will be used to establish a fund at Crouse Hospital to support brain aneurysm/AVM and stroke patients and families.

This year’s event saw its largest crowd yet, with over 200 individuals who came together in support of our cause.  Congratulations to Mary Cook and Judith Riker for putting on a fantastic evening.

We look forward to next year’s event and will be announcing the date soon.

To highlight our impact and convey our mission with clarity, we are excited to announce that the Joe Niekro Foundation is now the Niekro Aneurysm and AVM Foundation. We look forward to building on the Niekro legacy and continuing our mission!
