This is the third year that Representative Kane and Beth Casavant have co-hosted this annual event to raise funds for a local non-profit during the Spirit of Shrewsbury week, believing that Shrewsbury businesses and residents possess a remarkable and generous spirit of giving towards community efforts and helping those in need. Previous fundraisers were also co-hosted by former State Representative Matt Beaton and former Finance Committee Chair and local business owner John Masiello. The first event, “Let Your Spirit SOAR”, raised over $16,000 for Shrewsbury Oil Assistance Relief (SOAR) and funded the organization for two years. Last year’s event, “Let Your Spirit Build,” raised $15,000 for the Shrewsbury Public Library Capital Campaign.
When asked about selecting Binkeez for this year’s recipient, Representative Kane stated, “Many impactful non-profit organizations diligently work below the radar screen in our community, and while Binkeez for Comfort is well-known among families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses and our police and firemen who have helped support this wonderful organization, we wanted to highlight their mission and raise funds to allow them to help care for more families struggling with the grave medical condition of their young child. I am happy to partner with so many others to host this event who care deeply for this organization. ”
