Rose Brucia Foundation Sets Coliseum Fundraiser

The Rose Brucia Educational Foundation has scheduled a fundraiser for Jan. 4 at the Nassau Coliseum, when the New York Islanders host the Carolina Hurricanes.

A portion of the proceeds from tickets purchased through the foundation will go towards the organization that focuses on child stranger safety awareness. The Rose Brucia tickets are discounted.

For more information, visit the Rose Brucia Educational Foundation's Facebook page.

Islandia-based Rose Brucia Educational Foundation is the brainchild of Matthew J. Barbis, who created the organization after his 11-year-old cousin, Carlie Brucia, was abducted and murdered in Sarasota, Florida in 2004. 

The organization offers a free safety awareness program designed to provide stranger safety techniques to elementary-aged children. Teachers and other educators can find more information about the program on the Rose Brucia website.
