Patrick Pantalone, 39, was always healthy and athletic. 
However, his whole life changed when he was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease in 2014. While he is currently on the transplant list he must get dialysis three times a week to keep his levels from becoming toxic. 
These treatments make him very tired and unable to spend the quality time he was once able to with his wife Marisol, and their four children.

Since his diagnosis, Patrick has lost a lot of time from work and while his employer has been very understanding, the missed time has caused a financial strain on the family. 
Patrick would love nothing more than to spend time with his family, away from the financial stresses and the stresses associated with his diagnosis. He longs for the opportunity to create a memory with his family that will last a lifetime.
Treasured Time will give the Pantalone family the “Gift of Moments” in the fall. Visit www.treasuredtime.org and make a donation today!

This event is sponsored by the Shelton Exchange Club, People’s United Bank, Kyle Phillips Insurance, and Robert Gamberdella.

Seymour-based Treasured Time receives MassMutual Foundation grant

STAMFORD - Treasured Time, Inc., a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to grant the wishes of parents with life-threatening illnesses, has received a $10,000 grant from the MassMutual Foundation as part of a national Community Service Award program. 

Treasured Time is one of 22 organizations nationally to receive an award.  

The MassMutual Foundation made the grant as a tribute to the volunteer efforts of Anthony Truino, a MassMutual agent with Barnum Wealth Management in Stamford.

“We are stronger when we come together as a community, and our Community Service Awards program recognizes a group of MassMutual financial professionals who embody this spirit, working with members of their respective neighborhoods, towns and cities, helping nonprofits with which they are involved grow and thrive,” said Dennis Duquette, Head of MassMutual Community Responsibility and President of the MassMutual Foundation.   

“We are proud of the time and energy Anthony dedicates to better his community and delighted to support the great work MassMutual financial professionals do with organizations across the country.”

Treasured Time serves families where a parent has a life-threatening illness and they have at least one child between the ages of 3 and 18. The goal is to create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for the family.  

“All too often the specter of illness creates an environment tinged with sadness and concern.  By granting the parent’s wish, we can help lift that sadness for at least a few days.” says Suzanne Major, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Treasured Time.  “We call it ‘giving the gift of moments’ and this grant will enable us to create special memories for more families.”

Anthony has been the Chief Executive Officer of Barnum Wealth Management since 2010.  He has been committed to Treasured Time since 2014 and has dedicated countless hours of time and talent to help the organization grow and flourish.  “I am very pleased that my dedication to Treasured Time has been recognized by the MassMutual Foundation,” said Anthony.  “This grant will provide much needed funding to continue supporting our community by granting the wishes of families who need some happy time in the midst of illness.”

Treasured Time golf outing in September to benefit Stratford family

The “Driving For Memories” Golf Outing will benefit the Stanton family of Stratford./ Contributed photo

Treasured Time, Inc. is hosting its inaugural “Driving for Memories” Golf Outing to help a Stratford family make lasting memories.

The Stanton Family will be the featured family and “Gift of Moments” recipients for the event. 

Tim Stanton, 46, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in February 2017. 

At the time of his diagnosis, it had spread to his liver and lymph nodes. Stanton had a 10 cm mass surgically removed from his colon in March, along with 10 inches of his colon and 17 of 25 lymph nodes. At the time of his diagnosis in February, the tumor mass on his colon was measuring at 6 cm, indicating this is a fast-growing cancer.

Stanton started chemotherapy in April. He had the choice to start with a more basic chemo but opted to go for a more aggressive form of treatment. 

He had four rounds on this aggressive chemo and unfortunately his scans showed negative results. There were no improvements to his colon or his liver metastases. 

If the next set of scans do not show favorable results, he will begin exploring clinical trials that may help to slow down the progression of the cancer.

Stanton has three children Alanna, age 24, and twin boys Blake and Lucas, age 6. His eldest daughter Alanna is a huge support, taking him to doctor’s appointments and helping with her brothers and chores around the house. Stanton’s wife, Missy, can’t take much time off since she just started a new job.

Stanton and his family spend much of their time creating memories together. 

Stanton would love the opportunity to take his family to Disney World and explore the magic it has to offer before he is unable to do so.

Driving For Memories will be held Sept.13  at Whitney Farms Golf Course in Monroe. 

This is a rain or shine event with a shotgun start at noon. The cost is $125 per person and includes a dinner reception and auction after golf. 

Tickets for just the dinner reception and auction are $50 per person.

To register, visit treasuredtime.org. Registrations will be on a first come, first served basis.
