Mia's College Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
Carmen Straccione passed away suddenly on February 11, 2017, leaving behind a loving wife and adoring daughter.

Carmen was a good-hearted soul, and would do anything for anybody. As has been posted elsewhere, he was Everybody’s Bartender – taking care of you, lending an ear, offering advice and he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was a good friend to all, even if you just met him.

But above all, he was a devoted father to Mia. And his wish and hope for her was that she would have the opportunity to attend college and secure her future.

To help her with that, donations at this site will go into a 529 college savings plan created for Mia.

with the help of my sister we created this fund. My name is Cara - I was Carmen's wife and am mother to our precious Mia.  Both carmen and I are from Pennsylvania originally but decided to start our family in Maryland. We just fell in love with the area.  
 
We truly appreciate your support - thank you very much!
