ServiceMaster hosts fundraiser for Boston Marathon survivor



FOXBORO, MA- ServiceMaster by Gilmore will host the
Running for Ro fundraiser on Saturday, April 5, from 6pm to 12am at Demetri’s
Function Facility in Foxboro, MA in honor of Boston Marathon bombing survivor,
Roseann Sdoia. Last year, Roseann suffered severe injuries that resulted in her
losing her right leg. Donations at the event and online will go towards the
prosthetic leg that Roseann will need in five years.



 



Individual
tickets to the event are $50, or $400 for a reserved table of eight.  Attire is business formal. The evening will consist
of dinner, dancing, continuous music from both a live band and DJ, raffle
prizes, a silent auction, and an inspirational speech from keynote speaker Dick Hoyt from Team Hoyt.



 



Dick Hoyt
is father to Rick Hoyt who was born as a non-verbal spastic quadriplegic with
cerebral palsy. Rick and his father Dick have participated as team in marathons
and triathlons all over the world. The Hoyts have partaken in over 1,100
athletic events in the last 34 years.  They have run in 70 marathons—31 of
them in the Boston Marathon.  Visit their website at www.teamhoyt.com to learn more about their
story.



 



Roseann’s friend and colleague, Maria Benway from
ServiceMaster by Gilmore, will be running this year’s Boston Marathon in her honor.
