A Word From Our Honorary Co-Chairs:

Mr. Marc R. Kotora & Mr. Jay Lucarelli

Marc and Lisa Kotora and Jay and Lanee Lucarelli

To our cherished family, friends and supporters:

It is with great pride that we, Marc Kotora and Jay Lucarelli, team up in support of The Village at Marymount. Over the years, we have both witnessed first-hand the compassion and competence provided by the staff and the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis. The comfort and care provided on their campus motivated us to become directly involved with this truly worthwhile organization. As Honorary Co-Chairs of The Village at Marymount’s first ever Virtual Celebration of Life Gala, we are asking you to consider joining us in supporting this wonderful organization – and the worthwhile Mission of the Sisters.

The Village at Marymount has succeeded in keeping both their residents and staff as safe as possible since COVID-19 struck the world in early 2020. VAM set up isolation rooms to be ready if needed, provided necessary PPE for staff, and masks for residents to name a few. They have followed all the guidelines and restrictions from the various health organizations as well as from Governor DeWine. AND, they kept their residents smiling and having fun “celebrating life” through it all and on a continual basis.

No one could have predicted the drastic downward trend in skilled admissions because hospitals cancelled elective surgeries in order to provide beds and equipment for COVID-19 hospitalizations. Along with other businesses across the country, the 2019-2020 income projections for VAM have fallen way below the projected and previously positive budget.

THE VILLAGE AT MARYMOUNT COULD USE OUR SUPPORT MORE THAN EVER as they navigate uncharted waters and conquer imposed obstacles created by this global pandemic. Your contribution directly supports their Mission – to provide an environment of Compassion, Competence and the Celebration of Life to all entrusted to our community of care.  We are asking together as a “team” in the hope you can’t say no to the two of us or to VAM!

Please review the enclosed information for details about supporting their Virtual Celebration of Life Gala taking place October 18-22, 2020. If you can contribute, please submit your contribution by Wednesday, September 30th, 2020. If you have questions, please contact Liz Pencak-Frangos, Director of Marketing at 216-332-1396 or lpencak@marymounthcs.org.

Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and for joining us in support of The Village at Marymount!

Warm Regards,

Marc R. Kotora & Jay Lucarelli
