The DKJ 2013 Spring Fling was a Huge Success!
The DKJ Foundation raised over $ 8,500.00 with the
combination of their Spring Fling event held in March at Grumpy Doyle’s in
Reading and a generous donation from staff and owners of
Johnson O’Connor, Feron & Carucci LLP in Wakefield. The DKJ Spring Fling was a fun sold out event and we thank all our old and new supporters who attended – we can’t wait for
next year! Big thanks also to JOF&C LLP for their generous donation.
