Fall Fundraiser Concert

The Friends of the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Agawam held this year’s benefit concert at the Italian Sporting Club in Agawam, with sponsorship from the Agawam Veterans’ Council.

Guests enjoyed live music from the band 91 South and delicious food from Saucy Mama & Sweet Treats 413. Activities included face painting, a hula hoop contest, complimentary photos, a 50/50 raffle, and 50 raffle prizes!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated volunteers, everyone who donated raffle prizes, and King Gray for providing shuttle service, free popcorn, and fall portraits. We are especially grateful to the guests who braved the cold, rainy weather to join us and help honor our veterans!
