Suffolk Young CPAs Acknowledged for
Charity Effort

By Danielle D'Angelo

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Suffolk County recently complimented the NYSSCPA Suffolk Chapter's Young CPAs Committee, which last fall raised $4,000 for the foundation.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation works to grant the wishes of children between ages 2 wQ and 18 with life-threatening illnesses. Proceeds from the Young CPAs Committee's Young Professionals Golf Classic helped fund the wish of a three-year-old from Shirley, N.Y., who suffers from a form of leukemia. She and her family went to Disneyworld, and the foundation reported that they had a wonderful time.

"Please know that it is only due to the commitment and caring of friends like you that the Make-A-Wish Foundation can continue to make such a difference in these children's lives," wrote Cathy LaSusa
Higgins and Dave Gussaroff, the organization's executive director and board member, respectively, in a letter to Suffolk Young CPAs Committee member John DeFalco.
