A WOMAN WHO CARED

Elaine M. Mack
The WNY United Family Fun Day was founded by the late Elaine M. Mack. Elaine died of cancer in 1997, but her drive and compassion for those less fortunate lives on through the Family Fun Day, now held in her honor, and through the many ongoing contributions that she made to her community.

Elaine was a noted local humanitarian who was tireless in her commitment to the children and families of Western New York. In 1996, she established the Walk & Family Fun Day, now the Family Fun Day, because she believed in families and supported the effort to educate children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

Her family is represented at the event by her husband, Don, and nephew, Nicholas. Her sister, Jean Toth, is the Chair of the Family Fun Day Planning Committee and a member of the WNY United Foundation Board of Directors.

Your participation will allow Elaine’s legacy to continue and WNY United Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse to grow.
