development programs in the community.
CBM Board members joined by George Infanti Award recipients, Tom and Marie Grella, present a check of $20,000 to Susan Taylor, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley with the kids cheering us on!
Milford, NH – On Wednesday, July 30, CBM Cares board members presented
a donation of $20,000 to Susan Taylor, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls
Club of Souhegan Valley. The check presentation was made in front of an
enthusiastic crowd of Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley campers in

The donation was made from the proceeds of the 10th Annual
Pig Roast and Luau that was held on Saturday, July 19 at the Amherst Country
Club. With more than 260 people in
attendance, CBM Cares raised the most money for the Boys & Girls Club at
this event in CBM Cares’ history, nearly doubling last year’s donation. “We are
so thankful for the support of CBM Cares and everyone who attended or sponsored
this year’s event,” stated Taylor. The donation includes $7,500 to support
needs based scholarship assistance, ensuring access to programs for low income
families. “More families than ever are in need of financial assistance to
attend summer camp. This donation comes at a critical time, ensuring access for
those who need us most.”
The Luau featured dinner and appetizers provided by The Pasta Loft in
Milford, rolls donated by The Great Harvest Bread Company of Nashua, while the Pig
and Meats were cooked onsite by John Rowe and team from The Road Hog BBQ Shack.
