YES YOU CAN BEAT THE WINTER BLUES $10,000 FUNDRAISING PARTY!

When?  Saturday, March 1st, 7-11:00pm
Where? Wakefield Elks
What?  The party will feature live classic rock band, Nuzzy, dancing, buffet, open bar, and a live raffle for up to $10,000!!!
How it works?  I am selling only 300 tickets at $100 each which admits two into the party. Beginning at 7pm we will pull names of the raffle participants, until we eventually reach the big winner. All of the proceeds goes directly to the Hoyt Foundation with the exception of 10% which I would like to donate to the One Fund in honor of those who were lost or injured on April 15th, 2013. Rick and Dick Hoyt are local celebrities and together they have competed in thousands of road races including over 100 marathons and 6 full Ironman races in order to raise awareness and money for the disabled. This will be my third consecutive year running the Boston Marathon as a member of Team Hoyt and couldn't be more thrilled to have the opportunity to run the greatest race in the world and raise money for such a worthy cause. Due to the tragic events that occurred at last year's marathon, I was unable to finish the race which in turn qualified me to receive an invitational number from the B.A.A. which means I could run on my own. My preference is to run with Rick, Dick and my team, which have become like family to me, and have a record breaking fundraising year. It really is such a honor to run with Team Hoyt and raise money that directly helps so many disabled young Americans.
If you would like to attend the party or just purchase a raffle ticket I may be reached at 781-249-7218 or at tstapes@comcast.net.
Thank you for your support!
