If you’ve spent any time at The Rail Trail, chances are you know Kathy Marrone.

Kathy has been a dedicated member of the Rail Trail family since we first opened our doors. She keeps us on our toes, chats up the crowd like no other, and takes so much pride in our café that people often mistake her for the owner! We’ve dubbed her our “Rail Trail Ambassador,” and we truly wouldn’t be the same without her.

Now, Kathy and her family need their community behind them.

Kathy’s son, Rob Marrone, has been diagnosed with late-stage colon cancer and is currently unable to work. As Rob and his family face the difficult and unexpected challenges ahead, we want to do what our community does best—come together and help any way we can.

To raise funds for Rob, The Rail Trail Café & Mercantile is raffling off a COMPLETE THANKSGIVING FEAST for 6–8 people! We’re talking the whole nine—from appetizers and all the Thanksgiving favorites to dessert and pies. We’ll do the cooking so one lucky family can simply sit down, give thanks, and enjoy. 🦃🥧

Tickets are $25 each, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Rob to help with everyday living expenses, medical costs, and bills while he is unable to work.

The winner will be drawn on Halloween, October 31. 🎃
The Thanksgiving Feast will be ready for pick-up the day before Thanksgiving 🦃.

Please stop by The Rail Trail to purchase a ticket, share this post, and help us show Kathy, Rob, and their family just how much love and support surrounds them.

There’s also a GoFundMe set up for Rob.
We will share that link as well.
Thank you always for your continued support.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, one of the worst days in American history. Pictured here is our father’s Con Edison hard hat which sits in the National Sept 11 Memorial Museum at Ground Zero. He managed gas operations and led crews around Ground Zero working 12 hour shifts during the following days of this tragic event. We just found out about this hard hat a few days ago and we want to let our Dad know how proud we are of him. Today we thank all the heroes of that horrific day and the days that followed. We will NEVER FORGET your bravery and sacrifice 🇺🇸
