Berry Insurance Costume Drive Going On Now
Berry Insurance Kicks off the 8th Annual Halloween Costume Drive Supporting Boston Area Kids
Category: Blog
It’s that time of year again! Berry Insurance is participating in the 8th Annual Halloween Costume Drive along with Four Points by Sheraton located in Norwood, Massachusetts. All donations are to benefit patients at Children’s Hospital Boston and their annual Halloween parade. Last year we had a great turn out of donations from the local community, and we are once again hoping to top that this year!
We are accepting NEW Halloween costumes, accessories, and other Halloween “treats”. The possibilities are endless, from make-up, to props, coloring books, stickers, puzzles or games. Please, nothing scary or violent and no food/candy items. The donated items are collected for all age groups, from infant to teen sizes. Costumes and accessories for both girls and boys are welcome and appreciated!
The donations collected allow the kids at Children’s Hospital Boston to celebrate the joy of Halloween during their hospital stay. The hospital holds an annual Halloween parade for all the kids! If you would like to make a contribution to this great cause, please visit the Berry Insurance office before Friday, October 24th, 2014 to donate your gifts.
Don’t have time to stop by? Feel free to drop your gift in the mail directed to Berry Insurance (31 Hayward Street, Suite J, Franklin, MA 02038). Don’t have time to shop? We are also accepting cash donations & we’ll do the shopping for you. We truly appreciate your support of this worthy cause.
For more information about this great cause, please contact Kaitlyn Pintarich at (508) 440-2290. Thank you in advance for helping to make this Halloween exceptional at Children’s Hospital Boston.

Harvest Festival Kids' Fundraiser Success!
Hi there!
Katherine Kurtz (left) Mirabella Carrara (right)
I just wanted to share with "FRANKLIN MATTERS" about the wonderful, and
successful day our girls had at their Harvest Festival booth.
Mirabella Carrara and Katherine Kurtz, both age 9, met in pre-school,
forming an immediate bond. They now sit side-by-side in their forth grade
classroom at Davis Thayer Elementary. Their philanthropic hearts and love
for American Girl dolls gave rise to the idea of selling crafts in order to raise
money to buy toys, books and dolls for patients at Boston Children's Hospital,
where Mirabella was treated as a baby.
The girls partnered with American Girl Place in Natick and were able to shop
there and deliver gifts to BCH last year.

With the local support and encouragement, the girls have decided to make
this an annual event and started their efforts early this year. Through sales
and generous donations, they raised $342 yesterday, selling hot pink sparkly
star ornaments and earrings that they made. They also had a coloring table
where children were encouraged to color an official Get Well card. We
collected over 50 Get Well cards that will be delivered with our gifts in
December.
Thank you to Franklin for supporting these girls, their great idea, and the
children at Boston Children's Hospital!
