This Saturday our Family Field Day Fundraiser is back on August 13th!

We hope you can join us for a fun day with a bouncy house, live music, raffle prizes (Red Sox Tickets, Paddle Board Lessons, Cape Ann Marina Gift Certificate, Maritime Gloucester Membership and more!), games, face painting & more! All proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund. Come out and have a good time for a good cause!

Last year we held a fundraiser to show support for our teammate Calum in his fight against Wilms Tumor, a rare form of cancer that targets children. He has won his battle, and now we want to continue to help others like him.

Mickey is a cop, and Kacey lives on the streets in the vice of addiction.
