The Tompkins Family Fundraiser For Juvenile Diabetes

Join Bill Tompkins and his family in their efforts to raise funds for the New England Chapter - Bay State Branch of JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

Bill has chosen to support JDRF in honor of his nine-year-old son Calvin (pictured left, with his two brothers), who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of one. Help find a cure for Calvin and all those living with type 1 diabetes by purchasing tickets to see the Lowell Spinners vs. the Connecticut Tigers on Saturday, June 18th at 5:05 PM at LeLacheur Park in Lowell.

For a $30 donation to JDRF, you will not only receive two tickets to the game, but also one of the rarest of the 2011 Spinners Bobble Heads featuring Boston Red Sox legend and National Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski!
