North Shore Based Grateful Friends Announces Spirits & Spirits Costume Ball ~ Bringing Support & Unexpected Joy to Cancer Patients

October 25, 2018 – Peabody, MA – Grateful Friends, a 501(c)(3) non-profit

focused on supporting cancer patients through all phases of their cancer

treatment and journey, is pleased to announce its Spirits & Spirits Costume Ball

to be held in Beverly, MA at the Moraine Farm on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at

6:00pm.

Tickets are now available for this Halloween-themed event! Vampire-teers will

lead you toward the silent auction filled with items to include a private beach

getaway at Splash Landing in Gloucester, restful nights of splendor at a 3800

square foot home in Utah 5-10 minutes from the ski resorts of Park City and Deer

Valley, Celtics tickets, tantalizing gift baskets, original artwork, live lobsters, and

so much more! They will slowly draw you into a raffle (don’t worry, not your

blood). Come dressed in a costume or as your spooky self and you could win a

prize! There will be plenty of horror d’oeuvres to fill your belly and witchy brew

drinks to quench your thirst. Best of all – do the Monster Mash with all eve

dancing and music!

Grateful Friends, an organization founded by two friends who are cancer

survivor/thrivers, understands that while everyone’s cancer journey is different,

the fears and challenges are similar. “We want to be able to bring some

unexpected joy to other adults going through cancer, whether it’s through our

Comfort Baskets filled with goodies aimed at alleviating some of the difficulties of

treatment, or giving them peace of mind by paying an overdue bill created by

them having to take time off from work, or maybe it’s dinner and a show giving

them a temporary break from the Big C.”

Tickets are available for purchase today on their website –

http://www.gratefulfriends.com on the About Us page. You can also purchase tickets

on Eventbrite, from our Facebook page or by emailing info@gratefulfriends.com

Grateful Friends asks that you visit their website https://www.gratefulfriends.com

Storm’s a Brewin’!

I’m told there may be some weather this weekend, so I dug back into the files for some impending storm pictures at Good Harbor Beach. It seems late October is ripe for storms.
