Community Dinner Fundraiser

There will be a Community Dinner Fundraiser on Wednesday, November 11th (Veteran's Day) from 6-8pm at the Eben-ezer Church at 200 Main Street in Holyoke. The dinner is organized by the Upward Bound parent group and all proceeds will go to scholarships for Holyoke Youth. The benefiting youth are participants in the Northfield Mount Hermon Upward Bound Program, a program that works with low income or first generation students who will be the first in their families to go to college. They work very hard during their 4 years of high school to get good grades and apply to college. Most are accepted to college and get some financial aid, but still require extra funds to get there. I work with the Holyoke High School students in the program.

Tickets for the dinner are $6 for adults; $4 for children ages 6-12; and free for children under 6 (cheaper than dinner at ANY restaurant...and a lot more for your money)

Tickets can be purchased the night of upon entrance to the event. We encourage purchasing beforehand so that the parents have an idea of how much to cook. They will be making a traditional Puerto Rican Dinner. You can contact me for tickets. Or, if you think you may know a student in the program, ask me and I can let you know if the student is a participant and you can get tickets from him or her. Tickets can also be purchased from Evelyn at Sweet Dreams Bridal Boutique in Holyoke, at The Waterfront Tavern in Holyoke, or at Rigali's in Holyoke.
