$11,000 Donated To Shrewsbury Fire And Police Relief Association

SHREWSBURY, MA—State Representative Hannah Kane and fellow hosts Selectman Beth

Casavant, Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services Vice-Chair Melissa Pride-Fahs; members of the
Shrewsbury Patrolman’s Union David Faucher, Chris Abbascia and Chad Chysna; and members of
the Shrewsbury Firefighters Association Aaron Roy, Sean Lawlor and Rory Ahern gathered at Ski
Ward on Thursday, Sept. 27, to kick off the Spirit of Shrewsbury weekend by raising
awareness and funds for an important local cause.

“Let Your Spirit Sacrifice” raised $11,000 for the Shrewsbury Fire and Police Relief Association, a fund established to assist families with funeral and memorial costs for deceased members of the Shrewsbury fire and police departments. Also gathered at the event were officers of the Association, President Joe Milosz,
Treasurer Dave Hodgerney and Secretary Bob Ljunggren.

This is the fifth year that Kane and Casavant have hosted a community fundraiser during the Spirit of Shrewsbury. Each year a different local charitable organization is chosen to highlight. Past events have raised funds for SOAR (Shrewsbury Oil Assistance Relief fund), the Library Capital Campaign, Binkeez for Comfort, and Veterans Inc. and over the course of five years local residents and businesses have donated more than $65,000 to support these hard-working organizations.
