The Jim McCaffrey Fundraiser

Former native son Jim McCaffrey, who for 22 years covered news up and down the Main Line and in Philadelphia via the Main Line Times, Suburban & Wayne Times, Main Line Life, and The Bulletin, is facing a serious health crisis.

He has been diagnosed with Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and requires a bone marrow transplant.

His friends are hosting a fundraiser to help him with his expenses, as he will be unable to work for a year following treatment.


Come enjoy music with DJ Kevin Murphy (Splintered Sunlight begins at 10 p.m.), delicious food from area restaurants/businesses, and discounted drinks. $20/person at the door (cash or check, please), 21 and over.


Refreshments provided by:23 East, ACME Markets, Ardmore Pizza, Di Bruno Bros., Firinji, Gillane’s Bar & Grille, McClosky’s Tavern, Jack McShea’s, Sodexo Inc., The Ultimate Bake Shoppe, and more!
