2024 • 8th Annual Gift Drive •

Hello friends and family. The Mary Jane Sisca Gift Drive is initiating a call for action. This year we continue to face an abundant of challenges to our communities. We are hoping to provide much needed assistance by collecting and distributing gift cards. We have had enormous success with the Gift Card initiative. Our families enjoy the freedom of shopping individually for their specific family needs.

100% of your donation will go directly to clients at the Women’s Rights Information Center and other local charities and food banks.

I thank you in advance for your continued support. It means so much to me to share her name and this organization with all of you.

With love and gratitude,

About Us

The Mary Jane Sisca Gift Drive was founded in 2017 in honor of Mary Jane Sisca, a remarkable woman who passed away from metastatic breast cancer on June 28, 2017. Cathy Pierorazio, started the Gift Drive in honor of her mom.

“She was the most generous person I have ever known and it just seemed fitting to align her name with giving. I come from a big Italian family and some of my most cherished memories are of Christmas Eve at my mom’s house. Every year she arranged for Santa to come and deliver gifts to all children. These are moments that become etched in your mind.”

The Gift Drive will primarily support the Womens Rights Information Center, a community based nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, as well as other local agencies and food pantries. Visit www.womensrights.org to see the amazing work the center does for our community.
