Comments Northshore associate publisher, Kelly Schetzsle, "We are elated at the outpouring of support from our partners and friends who donated more than 150 items totaling more than $40,000 worth of in-kind items. Local North Shore businesses truly stepped up to the plate in support of One Fund Boston. We encourage the community to come out to bid in support of this great cause."
