On the evening of April 9th, 120 participants enjoyed laughter with friends both new and old while bowling strikes, spares (and even some ‘gutter balls’). Everyone enjoyed catered food provided by the World Famous Kelley’s Roast Beef and washed it all down with donated ice cold seasonal selections from our friends at Samuel Adams.

Innaugural Summer Party
June 20, 2009
On June 20, 2009, The FA Project hosted its Inaugural Summer Party at The Stadium Bar & Grill in South Boston, MA. With entertainment provided by Felix Brown (www.felixbrown.com) and over 160 people in attendance, we were able to raise $6,000. Of those funds, a $1,000 donation will be made to FARA through our Platinum Sponsorship of the Fuzzy Buzzy Golf Tournament (September 2009).
With the remaining funds, donations to individuals afflicted with FA are planned. Currently, the FA Project is soliciting applications for donations to improve the lives of those dealing with FA and looks forward to sharing news soon regarding such assistance. Assistance may include improvements to someone’s home (i.e. grab bars in shower, widening doorways for wheelchairs, adding ramps for wheelchair access, etc), assisting with travel costs for medical trials, physical therapy subsidizing and much much more.
