Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 23, 2025 Fourth Annual IACC/Nick Bombino American Cancer Society Memorial Bocce Fundraiser T he 4th Annual IACC/Nick Bombino American Cancer Society Memorial Bocce Fundraiser — honoring the life of Nick Bombino — took place on Saturday, May 17, at the Italian American Citizen's Club. The weather held out and it was a beautiful day to raise money for a good cause, with all proceeds going directly for cancer research. Nick bravely battled cancer, and every year his family honor his legacy the best way they know how: together, in community, with all proceeds going straight to the American Cancer Society. Mayor Gary Christenson, City Controller Charles Ranaghan, Malden Traffic Coordinator Kathy Hannon, State Representative Steve Ultrino, former Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis, Recreation Director Joe Levine, Public Works Commission Chair Diego Barricelli, and hundreds of their best friends made this one of the most successful fundraisers to date.
