Dunk Tank At Fall Street Faire In Reading Raises Over $1K

READING, MA — A recent fundraiser raised money for the Reading Rotary and for a high school student's project capturing veterans' stories.

More information is included in the press release below from Christopher Haley:

Because of our incredible community and volunteers, the “Dunk the Readings” dunk tank at the Fall Street Faire, was able to raise a grand total of $1052 split between the Reading Rotary and 2020 RMHS graduate Autumn Hendrickson.

Autumn is currently working on a 5-volume series of books chronicling the stories of the men and women from Reading & North Reading, MA that served in World War II. In order to do this work, she has to utilize private researchers and make trips to do research herself. One of Hendrickson’s core beliefs is that the information she provides to the community & to relatives of veterans, stays free. Any money that she receives will help to keep her research going.

In my 3 years running the dunk tank event, the community has come together and raised over $5,000 for various charities, businesses, and individuals.
