The Concord-Carlisle Community Chest is excited to announce this year’s Spring Fundraising Gala, It Only Takes A Minute. The Gala will be held on Saturday, March 31 and will offer an exciting evening of party games (loosely based on the hit TV show Minute to Win It), with raffle prizes for the winners.  There will be an open bar, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction of tickets, trips and experiences.

The Community Chest is excited the  “buzz” for the event is growing and wants to ensure people get their tickets early.  You can buy tickets online or by calling the Community Chest office at 978-369-5250 for more information or to reserve tickets.

The Concord Carlisle Community Chest is a unique organization.  We provide funding and support to over 35 human service agencies that are active in our towns.  Among the organizations that the Chest supports with annual funding are Gaining Ground, Open Table, the Youth Coordinator position at CCHS, the “Be the Change” program, Minuteman Arc, both the Concord and Carlisle Councils on Aging, and Minutemen Senior Services.   Supporting the Chest is a critical way to give locally and support our community with the services that we often take for granted. 

Attending the Gala is a great way to support the Chest and have a fun evening with your community of Concord and Carlisle friends.

See you on March 31 at It only takes a minute….!
