The sellout event supports a public/private partnership to renovate the stadium field to an all-season, multi-purpose and sports complex that when completed will be given to the school and the community. Completion goal is 2017, and has been engineered responsibly with the New England environment in mind. Donations to help in this major undertaking may be sent to GD at Play, P.O. Box 486, Groton MA 01450. Photo by Connie Sartini.
