Dear Supporters,

The Alex Foster Foundation and the extended Foster Family would like to thank you for helping make our first Rock ‘n Hope fundraiser a huge success! Our humble thanks to so many friends who came out on a cold and snowy night to support our organization’s mission to educate, raise awareness and support individuals and families affected by addiction.

The gathering was enjoyed by all who attended, thanks to the assistance of so many family members, friends and local businesses. The Malden Irish American Club was a most generous host. Our evenings’ entertainment “One Moe Time” impressed, ensuring everyone had a good time listening and dancing to their vast array of pop music. Our special guest Laura Sanscartier shared her musical gifts with us, singing several songs of hope, which set the mood of the evening. Shout out to Dom’s Catering in Malden, who provided us with a delicious buffet. We’re already looking forward to next year!

100% of the support we have received will go to continuing our initiatives, the HopeFULL Backpack Project, educational forums, GRASP grief support group, and more to come!
