On August 1st, KeepSmilin4Abbie will hold a semi-annual fundraiser.
In 2013, Woodward teacher Amy Benford lost her daughter Abbie to an anaphylactic reaction to food allergies. Since then, the Benfords helped formed the foundation to help other children living with food allergies.
Apparently, playing field hockey was one of the many things that made Abbie smile. So it’s fitting that the August fundraiser centers around the sport.
The Field Hockey fundraiser will take place Saturday, August 1, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.
The event highlight is a match between Abbie’s Hopkinton school’s Hillers varsity team and alumni.
Tickets in advance are $20 and $30 at the door. Kids 10 and under are free. Admission includes food, tshirt, live music and fun, family activities.
Funds raised will help with Early Detection of Anaphylaxis.
