Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Want to help bring Christmas cheer to 35 students from Cardinal
Cushing Centers? Looking for an awesome Christmas gift, too?
Eleven years ago a group of Hanover residents discovered that there
were students who stayed at the school through the holidays. They
decided to give these children a Christmas party to remember –
complete with music, dancing, games, food and gifts handed out by
Santa himself.
The tradition continues, and fundraising for the event now happens
year-round. Last year for the first time, I ran an on-line auction to
help support their efforts. I am delighted to announce that an auction
will be run again this weekend! This year, there are a couple of
luxury box Celtics tickets up for auction right here on “Around Town
on the Web” – with 100% the proceeds going toward the Cardinal
Cushing Centers party that will be held next week.
Two luxury box tickets are available for the following game:
Celtics vs. Orlando Magic
February 2, 2013, 1:00 p.m.
Luxury box seats!
The 2 seats have total face value of $500. For those who are
relatively new to “Around Town on the Web”, here’s how it works.
Bidding will begin at half-price -$250 – at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday,
December 21st and will be accomplished simply by sending an e-mail to
cathyhb@atotw.com
. Once you enter a bid, you will be added to the distribution list
that will keep you updated on the latest bid (as best as humanly
possible!). Bids will be accepted until exactly 5:00 p.m. on Sunday,
December 22nd. If two bids for the same amount are received, the
earlier bid will take precedence. So, it is to your advantage to bid
your best price early. Bids received by me after 5:00 p.m. (computer
clock time) on Sunday will not be considered. So don’t wait until it
is too late!
Gift someone special with some terrific Celtics tickets and gift the
students at the Cardinal Cushing Centers with some Christmas spirit
all at the same time. If you are the winning bidder, your tickets will
be delivered to you before Christmas. Mark your calendar and send your
bids to me at cathyhb@atotw.com
beginning Saturday (tomorrow as I write this) at 5:00 p.m. Bid early,
bid often!
If this opportunity touches your heart but you are not a Celtics fan,
you are also invited to send a donation made payable to the Cardinal
Cushing Centers (c/o Luke Dillon, 40 Maplewood Drive, Hanover). Please
also contact Luke with any fundraiser questions at 617-699-2244 (cell)
or ldillon@liam.org
.
For “Around Town on the Web”,
