The committee organizing a fundraiser for the Piawlock/Cox families has added a second family-friendly event in April to accommodate the large number of people hoping to make a difference in the fundraising efforts.

The first event remains on Saturday, March 18, from 7-11 pm at Spire 29 on School St in Gorham and is geared toward adults. It will include light hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, a band (Under The Covers) and a silent auction. Tickets are $25 per person and are available at Mr. Bagel and the Gorham Grind. Cash and checks are accepted.

Donations of silent auction items are still being accepted and can be dropped off at the Gorham Fire Department on Monday-Friday between the hours of 8 am – 4 pm.

Due to capacity constraints at Spire 29, the adult event is capped at 150 people. For this reason, a second family-friendly event was recently added to accommodate more people. This event is scheduled for Saturday, April 15, from 1- 4 pm at the USM gymnasium in Gorham.

It will include a DJ, food, bounce houses and other activities geared more towards kids. The new venue holds 500+ people so a cap on ticket sales is not expected.
