Sponsoring our area organizations and contributing to our community services is of vital importance to the safety and security of our neighborhoods and towns. We have always firmly believed that charity does begin at home and this definitely applies to our local community. We are big devotees of our Police, Fire, First Aid and EMS Squads. Without our support, these organizations who provide the most significant, crucial and valuable life saving services would be adversely affected.
Besides the essential services, The A.M.F. Foundation is the proud sponsor of several local Little League Teams. Fostering good will and camaraderie with our local children is a gratifying aspect of this particular endowment.
Animal Rescue, the ASPCA and other animal charities have been gifted from our foundation. It is so important to remember and care for our four-legged friends who give us so much joy and happiness.
Music is also a defining component of our foundation. We held a fundraiser last year for a musical group trying to gain attention in a very crowded field. It was very successful and attracted many interested patrons. That group has become very well known in the local community to our delight.
As a musician himself, Anthony Fernicola is in the process of identifying musical students who are interested in pursuing their musical education either by scholarship or financial remuneration if they qualify.
The Anthony M. Fernicola foundation also contributes to other foundations that have similar sensibilities and mission goals. It is the aspiration of our foundation to uncover a difficulty, need or problem, and with careful deliberation try to help resolve it
