Falmouth's Tommy's Place Nominated For $10K D'Angelo Giveaway

FALMOUTH, MA — D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches is giving a $10,000 donation to a community group, and the Tommy's Place in Falmouth is among those nominated.

"Our valued guests throughout New England can cast their votes in support of an organization or cause that is important to their community for the chance to make an immediate impact,” said Deena McKinley, the CMO of D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. "What’s so exciting about this program is that we leave it to our guests and team members to decide where these funds will be used in their neighborhoods, and we can’t wait to see which D’Angelo wins and which organization receives the $10,000 donation."

Tommy's Place founder Tim O’Connell is turning the former historic Elm Arch Inn off Main Street into a dream vacation home for kids fighting cancer. His vision is for one family at a time, along with their extended family and friends, to visit the home for up to one week.

The 11 bedroom, 9 bathroom home will be open year round. The home will also feature a game room, home tavern and theater, music room, arts and crafts room as well as a built-in pool, playground, beach volleyball court, basketball court, fire pit and its own fire truck.

If Tommy's Place wins, the $10,000 will go towards building a playground at the dream home.

"We're excited to have been nominated for this program and appreciate the opportunity to partner with our local D’Angelo restaurant in raising awareness for Tommy's Place!" O'Connell said."

The nominations come directly from local D'Angelo restaurants. The Falmouth location at 689 Main St. nominated Tommy's Place, which are now one of 40 organizations competing for the giveaway.

Residents can help the Tommy's Place win the $10,000 by voting on the restaurant's website. Voting runs until Aug. 8.
