About our honorees

James Mangan is the president of MJM Plumbing & Mechanical Inc. based in Rocky Point, NY, where he oversees operations with a strong background in construction, value engineering, subcontracting, and more. His leadership and expertise contribute significantly to the company’s success and influence in the industry.

Outside of his professional role, Jim has been deeply involved in community initiatives. He and his late wife Marie were instrumental in starting an annual Rocky Point St. Patrick’s Day parade party. Following Marie’s passing in 2010 from breast cancer, Jim and his community began raising funds in her memory to support the Fortunato Breast Health Center at Mather Hospital. Through the years MJM Plumbing, its employees, family, and friends, have raised over $125,174 for Mather Hospital.

Jim has expressed profound gratitude to Mather Hospital for the exceptional care and support Marie received during her treatment. This experience has motivated him to give back to the hospital and community.
