Jeff Naticchia was a fun-loving, caring man who could always make people laugh.  He loved music, the outdoors and spending time with friends & family.

in July 2017, Jeff's life tragically ended shortly before his 51st birthday, leaving behind his wife Crissy and two children Nicole & Max, whom he adored.

What began as a fever quickly escalated into organ failure, jaundice and life support.  It took the doctors 5 days to diagnose him with a tick born disease called Babesia.  Those 5 days proved to be too late.

Babesia is one of many tick born diseases that the public not widely aware of.  Doctors are not being trained on these diseases which are resulting in late or misdiagnoses.

Jeff's heartbroken family wants to raise awareness for these diseases, which can be treatable if caught early.

A group of his friends are organizing this fundraiser dinner to bring attention to Babesia and to help Nicole & Max with their future college education.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to PA LYME Resource Network, a nonprofit organization providing education and advocacy for tick-born diseases.

Jeff always loved a good party so please join us in celebrating his life for a good cause.  If you can not attend the benefit, please consider a donation.
