BBQ on the Beach Event to Benefit Bereaved Stratford Family
The June 18 BBQ on the Beach event will benefit a Stratford area family following the loss of their husband and father.

From a Stratford Patch Facebook reader:
My name is Bob Lombard from Stratford, Connecticut. I'm organizing an event at Short Beach with the help of Friends of Short Beach on June 18th (5pm - 9pm) to benefit a Stratford family who recently suffered a terrible loss. The event is called 'BBQ ON THE BEACH' and it is intended to bring family, friends and neighbor's together for a great cause.
My son Danny plays both travel and Stratford Little League baseball with his friend Josh. On April 15, 2016, Josh lost his father in a terrible accident. This tragedy left a family without a husband and father. It also left the family with a significant financial burden.
