The event will begin at 12:00 PM and will include a bocce tournament and a raffle of several outstanding items, including tickets to an upcoming New England Patriots game and 4 tickets to N.E.Revolution against the LA Galaxy .  Even if you don't play bocce, you can join us for refreshments in a beautiful setting.

The suggested donation for the event is $20 per person (children under the age of 18 are welcome to attend for free).  All proceeds from the tournament and raffle will be donated to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA), an organization dedicated to supporting efforts to research, treat, and prevent Pulmonary Hypertension, a rare and deadly disease of the lungs and heart that Tony courageaously fought for almost a year and a half.
