The Greg Hill Foundation's 637 Day Celebration was a huge hit. Thank you to everyone who came by to support the foundation. We heard heartbreaking stories from some of our beneficiaries and having them at the event was wonderful. Our guests enjoyed a night of great food, drinks, celebrity guests such as Julian Edelman, Tyler Seguin, and Brad Marchand. The silent and live auctions went very well and were a great fundraiser for our foundation and for future beneficiaries. |
