MVES Hosts Most Successful Fundraiser to Date

Through the generous support of sponsors and theatre goers, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) raised over $70,000 to support area elders at its fifth annual theatre event. The fundraiser, a performance of My Fair Lady on April 10 at the Stoneham Theatre, benefited the Gap Fund, an endowment that provides home care services to elders who fall just outside the eligibility guidelines of government-funded programs.

“We’re so grateful for the ongoing support of our event sponsors who make this theatre event successful year after year” said MVES’ Executive Director Daniel J. O’Leary.  “Through this generous support of the Gap Fund, we’re able to assist elders who don’t qualify for help from other programs. This resource helps elders and individuals with disabilities remain living in the community.”

Over 100 sponsors supported the fundraiser, which is part of a multiyear campaign to raise $1 million for the Gap Fund endowment. MVES is half-way to its fundraising goal, having raised over $500,000 for the endowment to date.
