Members of the Mirabito team visited the final five charities throughout the month of December 2023 to distribute the remaining funds.
The 32nd Annual Mirabito Golf Classic & Mixer Night, hosted by Mirabito on June 20 & 21, 2023 at The Craftsman and Drumlins Country Club in the Syracuse, NY area, raised funds through various sponsorships and participation by industry leaders, community partners, and dedicated supporters. The event was not only a celebration of camaraderie but also a testament to Mirabito’s dedication to corporate social responsibility.
Through the generous contributions of vendor partners, participants, sponsors, and Mirabito itself, the company surpassed its fundraising goal. As the 2023 year concluded, Mirabito distributed funds to a wide-range of charitable organizations, each addressing crucial needs within the communities served by and important to Mirabito. Funds went to the following charities: Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, David’s Refuge, American Cancer Society, Cure Rare Disease, Mercy House of the Southern Tier, Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Foundation for Women’s Cancer, Wounded Warrior Project, Fairview Recovery Services and Muscular Dystrophy Association.
“We are thrilled to announce the success of our 32nd Annual Mirabito Golf Classic, which has allowed us to make a substantial contribution to various charities,” said Lindsay Meehan, Tournament Chairperson. “We are so grateful for our partners, customers and employees that share our belief and dedication to giving back and supporting the communities that have been integral to our success for nearly 100 years. This donation reflects our continued commitment to making a positive impact and fostering a spirit of unity and compassion for others.”
In December 2023, Mirabito representatives distributed the last round of donations to local charities. A total of ten (10) charitable organizations received the raised funds. These selected charities undergo thorough vetting to ensure they align with Mirabito’s values and actively contribute to creating a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those they serve.
This significant donation to multiple charities is just one example of Mirabito’s ongoing efforts to maintain its family values and support the community remaining dedicated to initiatives that promote sustainability, community development, and overall well-being. Furthermore, these donations were not possible without the unwavering support of our partners, customers, employees and supporters. Mirabito looks forward to hosting its 33rd Annual Golf Classic set for June 4 & 5, 2024 at Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY.

BINGHAMTON, NY — Mirabito Energy Products & Mirabito Convenience Stores is proud to donate $50,000 to Cure Rare Disease (CRD), a Boston-based non-profit organization committed to the development of precision medicine therapeutics that combat select rare diseases impacting millions of people nationwide.
Each June, Mirabito holds the “Mirabito Golf Classic” in Syracuse, NY. The premier event typically hosts over 300 golfers and business partners over the course of 2-days. This year, due to COVID-19, the 30th Anniversary event was cancelled. However, through the generosity of its vendor partners, customers and employees, Mirabito was still able to raise money in support of CRD as they enter the home stretch of a groundbreaking year.
CRD has assembled leading researchers and clinicians nationwide to develop precision medicine therapeutics for rare, genetic, and fatal diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), one of 8 designated rare diseases that the non-profit is focusing on today. The organization and its multidisciplinary approach to developing customized treatments has been inspired by the personal experience of Founder & President, Rich Horgan. Horgan is a 27-year old Cornell and Harvard MBA graduate—an emerging entrepreneur with a passion to drive tangible transformation in the healthcare space. His family, including his brother Terry, has been impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy for three generations.
“It has been a privilege to partner with CRD over the years and to get to know the Horgan Family. Their commitment to finding cures for each individual and outside-the-box thinking to get results is truly amazing,” said CEO, Joe Mirabito, Mirabito Energy Products. “We believe in their mission and the strategy they are using to make a difference for the millions of people affected by these diseases. We are excited to see what the future holds!”
“We are grateful for Mirabito’s tremendous support as a business that’s not only making a difference in their local community, but for every family touched by a rare disease,” remarked Rich Horgan, Founder & President of Cure Rare Disease. “I founded CRD in response to the lack of treatment options and hope for all those impacted by rare diseases, like my brother Terry, who continues to battle Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We are working to rapidly develop groundbreaking, tailormade therapeutics in collaboration with the nation’s top researchers, partners, and our donors. Time is of the essence, and Mirabito’s generosity is bringing us one big step closer to a cure.”
Family-owned and operated since 1927, the Mirabito Family of Companies operates in nine states with multiple divisions including Natural Gas and Electric, Home Energy Products and Services, Wholesale Energy Products and Services, Convenience Stores, and Mirabito Truck Repair.

Cure Rare Disease (CRD) is a Boston-based nonprofit biotechnology company founded by Rich Horgan, Blavatnik Life Science Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard Business School who has witnessed three generations of his family affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a fatal, neuromuscular disease. As anyone who is touched by a fatal, rare disease knows, time is of the essence. To overcome the obstacles inherent in the existing model of drug development, CRD has taken a new approach, forming an unprecedented collaboration with leading researchers and institutions nationwide in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics and biotechnology. Horgan and team are pioneering the development of a new platform for customized therapeutic treatments that can be applied to a range of rare, genetic diseases, and aim to inspire hope for a cure.
