Fundraiser Planned for Tutaj Family at Mulcahy's

April 24 event to benefit parents who lost 15-year old son in February.

The local community is coming together this month to help out a Seaford family that has been hit with a series of recent tragic events.

A fundraiser is scheduled for Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall in Wantagh on April 24 to benefit Robert and Eileen Tutaj of Seaford, whose 15-year old son Joseph died suddenly of a strep infection in mid February while he was on a Seaford High School band trip to Southern California. Robert Tutaj is also in the midst of a battle with stage-four cancer and the family has been displaced from their Seaford Harbor home since Superstorm Sandy struck in late October.
