Fundraiser honors Tom DeFrancisci, Cedar Grove veteran and crossing guard.

Cedar Grove Unico held a fundraiser to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project earlier this year. 

The event was held at the Cigar Emporium in Lyndhurst and raised $4,500 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

"As the event chairman, I also had the privilege of honoring my father Tom as his photo was dedicated to the Veterans Wall at the Cigar Emporium," said Pat DeFrancisci.

Tom DeFrancisci, 93, is a WWII Pacific Campaign Veteran. He is also a crossing guard in Cedar Grove.
