Oct 22, 2018

Townsquare Media and the Fearons Family raised more than $5,200 for pediatric services at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford during their Food for Tots event in Wareham on Oct. 18.

The event is designed to benefit Southcoast Health’s pediatric services which are provided in collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital.

Food for Tots invites community members to dine at area restaurants on the third Thursday of every month, with 15 percent of all proceeds going directly to pediatric services at Southcoast Health.

The Oct. 18 event featured six establishments in Wareham including Ella's Wood Burning Oven Restaurant, Kool Kone, Bailey’s Surf “n” Turf and Mezza Luna. It also included a match donation of $2,500 from Hair in Motion in New Bedford.

Since April, Food for Tots has been able to raise more than $62,000 for pediatric care.

The next Food for Tots event is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 15 with 37 restaurants from across the Southcoast region participating.

The event is supported by the Fearons Family in collaboration with Townsquare Media which donates airtime to the fundraiser on both WFHN 107 FM and WBSM 1420 AM.
