Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Unites Kids and Shelter Animals

For the second consecutive year, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union is sponsoring a collaboration between the Greater Lowell Family YMCA and Lowell Humane Society. The “Tales 4 Tails” program allows children at the YMCA to visit Lowell Humane Society to read aloud to dogs, cats, rabbits and other shelter animals that are awaiting adoption.

“Last year was such a success,” said Erin Hebert, Summer Reading Program Director and Membership Director at the Greater Lowell Family YMCA. “There are so many kids where the thought of getting picked in the middle of the classroom to read out loud causes so much anxiety. Here, there is no judgement. They’re getting to read out loud, it’s helping to build their fluency in reading and their confidence level to read out loud, and they continue to build a passion.”

Helicopter Ball Drop Raffle to Support Saints Campus First Floor Renovation

Entries are still available for the Helicopter Ball Drop Raffle, an annual highlight of Lowell General Hospital’s Golf Challenge on August 19 at The International in Bolton.

The Helicopter Ball Drop is a 50/50 raffle with a dramatic twist. Each entry buys a golf ball, which will be delivered and dropped by a swooping helicopter onto the 18th green. The lucky winner is the person whose ball comes closest to the pin. Last year, the winner won $3,600.

The Helicopter Ball Drop is sponsored by Trinity Emergency Medical Services. The donations from the 50/50 Helicopter Ball Drop and the Golf Challenge will support the first floor renovation of Lowell General Hospital’s Saints Campus.
