Fundraiser for Joplin, Springfield: 6/15

Hey everyone,

Spread the word! On June 15, 2011, The Greater-Boston Chapter of the Mizzou Alumni Association (The Boston ‘Zou) will host a fundraiser and silent auction to benefit victims of the recent tornadoes in the Joplin, MO, and Springfield, MA areas. Missouri Alumni Association members, and all interested parties, will gather at Brighton Beer Garden (386 Market St., Brighton) from 6-9PM.

“It’s heartbreaking to see people from your home state going through such a tragedy and not have the ability to help in-person,” said David Sprague, the chapter’s president. “Hopefully our efforts will help, in some small way, the recovery efforts.”

The Brighton Beer Garden and a number of Boston-area businesses have donated gift certificates and services to be auctioned off. All proceeds will go directly to the United Way campaigns responding to both Joplin (Heart of Missouri) and Springfield (Pioneer Valley).

Wednesday, June 15
6-9pm
