RiverWalk Presents: Skating with the Bruins Alumni Fundraiser for NEDS

December 10, 2017 By Terry MacDonald

10 Dec

Yesterday was an amazing fundraising event hosted by the RiverWalk Resort at Loon. The afternoon started off with VIP ice skating with the Bruins Alumni at the Rink at RiverWalk. Each participant enjoyed a 1:1 skating session with a Boston Bruins Alumni. Commemorative photos were available followed by a cocktail reception, cash bar & silent auction in the RiverWalk Owners Club. While watching the Bruins vs. NY Islanders game, all indulged in delicious appetizers provided by La Vista Italian Restaurant and mingled with the Bruins Alumni such as, Rick Middleton, Terry O’Reilly, Billy O’Dwyer, Cleon Daskalakis, Bob Sweeney and many more!

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us for our Skating with the Bruins Alumni fundraiser yesterday. It was an extraordinary event raising over $17,500 to help us continue Breaking Boundaries!
