THE PATRICK CUFF FUND
Keeping Patrick's memory alive
The Patrick Cuff Fund is devoted to keeping Patrick's memory alive through various acts of kindness and good will done in Patrick's name. In addition to being in recovery, Patrick was a funny, kind guy with a giant heart who loved basketball and kids. The world was a better place with him in it.
WHAT WE DO
We started "Cuff's 25 Days of Christmas" in December 2018. To take part, people signed up for one specific day during the first 25 days of December to do something in Patrick's memory: a deliberate act of kindness, a charitable gesture for a stranger, a small donation in his memory to a charity, etc
You can learn more at the Cuff's 25 Days of Christmas Facebook Group. (link below)

VISIT TO LAKE AVE RECOVERY IN WORCESTER
Our family was able to visit Lake Avenue Recovery treatment center in Worcester. This is the home to Cuff's Cafe in memory of our dear Patrick. This is the kind of place that we think really would have been helpful to Pat in his recovery journey. We're so glad to see them offer services that meet the person where they are and help them move forward in hope - we wish Lake Avenue Recovery had been in existence when Pat was alive. It's such a kind and loving gesture to see Patrick remembered at their center.
