Paul R. Matthews Foundation to host the Fourth Annual "Celebration of Community Spirit" Fundraiser

The Paul R. Matthews Foundation is pleased to announce the fourth annual

Celebration of Community Spirit at
Pequitside Farm in Canton, MA will take place on Friday, September 20, 2013 at
7pm. In addition to the silent auction, raffles, and refreshments, this year’s
celebration features a performance by Renee Rancourt of Boston Bruins fame. 

This celebration
raises funds for the Paul R. Matthews Foundation, established in memory of
Paul, a long time member of the Canton School Committee and advocate for the
youth of the community. The foundation’s mission is to support the children and
students of Canton through scholarships and programs. 

Previous Celebration of Community Spirit events
have enabled the foundation to provide annual scholarships to two Canton High
School seniors who exemplify a significant commitment to sportsmanship,
scholastics, and the community. The foundation also provides grants to a
variety of programs, including the television production classes at Canton High
School, the Canton Historical Society, the Canton Garden and Food Project, the
Canton High School Robotics Program, and several other unique educational and
community programs.

“The
support and generosity of the community remains nothing short of extraordinary.
Paul, who truly believed that participation in youth sports and community
activities enrich the lives and the “spirit” of our students, would be proud,”
states Suzanne Matthews, president of the foundation. “We are very excited
about this year’s event. With Renee Rancourt performing the National Anthem and
wonderful silent auction items, it is sure to be a great time for all.”

Tickets to the
event, priced at $35 each, can be purchased on the foundation website at www.prmfoundation.com.  Regular updates, including auction and raffle
items, can also be found on the foundation’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/paulrmatthewsfoundation.
