The Greg Hill Foundation Fundraising for Bernadine Gates and Family

From the Greg Hill Foundation: “On November 8, 2012 the apartment of Bernie (Bernadine) Gates was burned down to the ground. Bernadine is from Bourne, MA and is a single mother of two little girls, 9 year old Cassidy and 7 year old Corynn. Bernie graduated from Bourne High School in 1988, is a full time student at Cape Cod Community College, who works several waitressing jobs to make ends meet. They lived quite modestly, but then this fire happened, she and the girls lost everything they owned in the fire. All they had were the clothes they were wearing that day. They are now looking for a new place to live.”

Please help the Greg Hill Foundation by spreading the word and supporting this family in need.  Please visit The Greg Hill Foundation Website for more information.

Kids of the 80’s Party sponsored by The Greg Hill Foundation for Bobby Flaherty

The Kids of the 80’s Party

8:00pm – November 10, 2012 at Marina Bay’s Water Club, 319 Victory Rd. Quincy, MA 02171

This event will be a fundraiser for the Flaherty Family. All attendees are encouraged to donate $10.

Promoting this event is The Greg Hill Foundation, “Since 2008 fans of the 1980’s have thrown a reunion called “The Kids of the 80’s”; the idea for the reunion was forged from one person’s wonderful memories of childhood to a group of 40somethings and their simple wish to revel in those old memories and create new ones with the folks that appreciate the awesome 80’s… plus where else can you request Kajagoogoo’s “Too Shy” and not look like a complete weirdo?!?

Each year, as Fall is in full swing, a group of about 250 “kids of the 80’s” get together in Quincy at Marina Bay’s “Water Club” to reunite with old friends, meet new ones and of course “party like it’s 1999”. This November 10th at 8pm will be no different, however this year’s event comes with heavy hearts because one of our generations own, Bobby Flaherty, passed away to cancer at the young age of 40, Bobby battled for 3 years and finally succumbed to the disease in early October. Bobby was a veteran, a huge BOSTON sports fan, a “caring and super awesome” husband to his wonderful wife, Maribel and doting father to his four children, PJ, Dylan and his youngest two, Isabella whose 6 and Bobby jr. who just turned 2.

We’re not asking much, but for those familiar with the Greg Hill Foundation, we know that together we can make a difference, together we too can become “super awesome”! In addition to the dollars donated, The Greg Hill Foundation will also be matching the contributions, dollar for dollar and 100% of the proceeds will be going to Bobby’s children. Please join our team in helping make a difference for his survivors, as well, we humbly ask to share this link so we can remember one of our own, Bobby Flaherty, a true “kid of the 80’s”. When Life Stops… Love Doesn’t.”
