Wilmington Organization To Host 'Blue Jean Ball' Fundraiser

WOBURN, MA — The Wilmington-based Stephanie Weymouth Charitable Foundation will hold its annual fundraising event "bringing Nashville to Boston" this spring.

The foundation will hold "Blue Jean Ball" on April 18 at the Crowne Plaza Boston-Woburn Hotel.

"We have an amazing night planned for you, featuring Nashville's own country recording artist, Mark Taylor, and line dance instruction taught by Line Dance Chance, Nashville's own honkytonk line dance instructor and entertainer!" according to a statement.

The event will be from 6 to 11 p.m.

Stephanie Weymouth, a Wilmington native, was killed by a drunk driver in New Jersey in February 2024. She had been living in Bayonne, NJ and working as a theater arts teacher at a local high school when she died.

Last year was the first-ever fundraiser for the foundation, which brought together a capella groups Weymouth had been a part of during her lifetime.

The foundation uses the money raised to award scholarships locally in Wilmington and other places Weymouth was a part of during her life, as well as partner with organizations that support the visual arts, music, acting and playwriting, and create programs centered on education and mentorship.
