The 17th Annual ScucciFest is set to bring music, charity, and community spirit together on September 20, 2025, continuing a beloved local tradition in memory of Michael R. Pascucci. From noon until 9:00 PM, the American Legion Post 354 in Midlothian, VA, will transform into an exciting venue for entertainment and fundraising, with gates opening at 11:30 AM. This family-friendly event along the James River combines top local musical talent with a meaningful cause – fighting cancer through research and support.
Last year’s ScucciFest was a remarkable success, drawing nearly 700 supporters and music enthusiasts who gathered for a beautiful day by the river. Their participation helped raise an impressive $40,000 for cancer research, with $45,000 donated directly to the Massey Cancer Research Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. The Mike Pascucci Cancer Association (MPCA) continues this legacy, using the festival as their primary fundraising event while creating a space where community members can come together for fun, food, and friendship – all while supporting a cause that touches countless lives.
