Heartfelt thanks to the Enforcers MC Lackawanna Chapter for honoring my brother, Cpt. James R. Minicozzi, w/a toast ~ alongside their club & veterans at the Legion in Eynon, tonight; in recognition of his 50th birthday this past August.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your friendship, and esp. for your service & unwavering support during his memorial race; every year. An incredible brotherhood of law enforcement officers, military members, first responders, and true American patriots that I am fortunate to call friends.♥️ Best text I received kicking off the new year.

My brother would be so proud & honored. Never Forgotten!

The Minicozzi Race Committee, thru the UNICO Scranton Chapter, proudly continue the timeless tradition of hosting 200 children at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeastern Pennsylvania for their annual Christmas party. This special event is made possible through funds raised during the 13th Annual Cpt. James R. Minicozzi Memorial Race, held each year over Labor Day weekend during La Festa Italiana.

Every child will be provided with a hot catered meal, refreshments, a warm hooded sweatshirt & jogging pants with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeastern Pennsylvania logo on them, winter hats, gloves and socks along with other surprises.

The celebration will include three hours of festive fun with a DJ, a surprise visit from Santa & Mrs. Claus, and a hands-on craft for the children to make & take home.

Proud Sister moment.♥️
