The Johnny Mac Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed by John’s wife, Jennifer after his death in August 2009 of 9/11 related cancer. John was an FDNY Firefighter and caring for others was what he did. In a list of final wishes, John asked to have a community center built in Blue Point, NY. In accord with John’s motto “whatever it takes,” the Foundation now works tirelessly to fulfill that wish. In addition, the Foundation supports other 9/11 first responder organizations. John’s last wishes were written down and electronically scanned.
Johnny Mac Board Members Vanessa LaPorte and Stephanie Gennett recently joined President Jenn McNamara for a magical evening at the 2026 Alice in Wonderland themed Caitlyn’s Vision Gala. It was a wonderful night celebrating community, advocacy, and support for children with visual impairments and chronic illnesses.
