COMPASS would like to send a special thank you to all our generous basket donors and everyone who purchased drawing tickets. Your donations helped us exceed our goal! We are excited to share that together we raised $10,880 for the John J. Lydon Help Fund.
This money will go directly to helping youth and families with emergency assistance across Massachusetts. If you missed the fundraiser, you can still donate anytime. We truly appreciate all your support!
