On Saturday, March 25, more than 200 guests attended the Norfolk Community Gala at Lakeview Pavilion in Foxboro. The annual fundraiser resulted in $24,000 which will support local charitable organizations in Norfolk.
At the event, Norfolk’s Lisa Collentro was honored as Norfolk’s 2017 Person of the Year. Ms. Collentro has dedicated much of her time to Norfolk Baseball as a coach and board member and has assisted in organizing opening and closing day activities. She recently helped a local Boy Scout troop earn the Emergency Procedure merit badge, and helped with the “Bubba Strong Open Golf Tournament,” to support two members of the King Philip family being treated at Mass General’s Pediatric Hematology/Oncology unit. She also lends her support as a chaperone for school field trips and coordinates volunteer opportunities.
The Norfolk Community Gala was organized by the Norfolk Community League (NCL), which enhances the quality of life for Norfolk residents by activities that better the community and strengthen community spirit. For more information on NCL, visit www.norfolkcommunityleague.org.
