It has been one week since the attacks at the Boston Marathon, and generous donations keep coming into the Greg Hill Foundation. 
To-date, they have raised over $226,000; $93,500 of which, has already been dispersed to 15 families and 19 victims. These immediate funds help local families whose lives have suddenly become overwhelmingly difficult either through medical costs, loss of wages or even the costs of losing a loved one. We are thankful for all the hours of work the Greg Hill Foundation has accomplished this past week to give some instantaneous relief to these families suffering such abrupt hardships.
The restaurant donations from last night’s fundraisers have been pouring into the Greg Hill Foundation throughout the day. The donations received are currently closing in on $115,000. The Foundation has already delivered checks to the Richard, Campbell, Bauman, Norden and Webb families. They are continuing to take donations through their website.
The Greg Hill Foundation has done an amazing job these past few days of raising funds for the Boston Marathon attack victims. Over $75,000 has been raised so far! Thank you to all who have supported this cause!
Greg Hill posted this message regarding the dispersion of funds to the victims: ” As a foundation, we are focused on preserving the privacy of the victims and their families. That being said, we also want to keep you up to date with our donation distribution efforts and therefore we will attempt to share as much information as we feel is appropriately respectful to the families. In light of that effort, we want you to know that significant donations were made today directly to the Richard and Campbell families. We don’t feel it appropriate to share those amounts as this time out of respect to them. We will continue to distribute 100% of your donations over the next days and will always share as much information as we feel is appropriate.”
Announced today: Sam Adams Beer and Jim Koch will be donating proceeds from their 26.2 Brew. Donations will be $30K-$50K!!
We are so proud to be part of such a great group of local people helping others. #BostonStrong
