Hingham Businesses Come Together To Help Milton Family
Thursday's fundraiser in the square will offer appetizers and wine from Square Cafe and 10 percent off to clothing shop Sara Campbell.
Less than six weeks after Milton resident Mark MacDougall passed away unexpectedly, his cousin, Square Café Executive Chef Andrea Schnell, and the Hingham community are coming together to raise funds for his family.
MacDougall, age 28, left behind his two young children, Isabella and Charlie, and his wife, Nicole, who was his high school sweetheart. Less than a week before his death, the family had moved into their dream home. Now his family, devastated by their loss, is in financial trouble and the Hingham community has decided to help. The Square Café along with South Street business Sara Campbell and the Hingham Mothers Club have come together to raise money for Mark’s family.
Schnell and some other family members have created the Mark MacDougall Memorial Fund, to raise money for Mark’s widow and children. As part of the fundraising efforts, Sara Campbell will host a shopping event on Thursday, October 4, from 7-9 p.m. and manager Pam Gillis said she will offer 10 percent off to everyone who shops during the event and 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Mark’s family.
