In response to the tragic events at the Boston Marathon, and the inspiring outpouring of support from so many people near and far, St. Mark’s Area Main Street has established the Richard Family Fund, to support the family in light of expenses that will inevitably arise. 100% of donations collected via this campaign will be disbursed to the Richards. We expect the funds will be used for medical expenses, for memorial services, or other appropriate expenditures at the family’s discretion.
The fund was set up by SMAMS volunteers, staff and friends.
Contributions can be made online at:
