Freezin' for a Reason

During the weekend of February 13th - 15th Fred Brown, Greg Cordova and Rob Suchecki will be camping on the Colchester Town Green to raise money for the Colchester Fuel Bank. Freezin' for a Reason is entering it's 17th year. In the first 16 years, with your help, they raised $192,000.00 for the Fuel Bank.

This year with the frigid temps the need is greater than ever for fuel assistance. Please help them to help our neighbors in need.

Donations can be made through PayPal freezinforareason@yahoo.com 
or you can visit them on the green that weekend anytime Friday, Saturday, or before noon on Sunday!
