Over $160K Raised For Cape Cod Family After Tragic Fatal Fire

DENNIS, MA—A local story recently reached the Greg Hill Foundation, which has raised money for a Dennis patrolman and his young son.

Dennis Police Chief John Brady issued a statement last week confirming that Patrolman John Hubbard's wife, Shannon, and 1-year-old daughter, Margaret, died in a fire at their vacation rental home in Clinton, New York, on Sunday night.

Hubbard and his 3-year-old son, Jack, survived the fire.

Since then, the foundation has raised more than $162,000 for the Hubbard family, far surpassing an original goal of $10,000.

"As the family and community begin to mourn this horrific loss, The Greg Hill Foundation is dedicated to supporting them in their time of need," the foundation said on the online fundraiser.

"We will be holding an on-air fundraiser and matching all donations up to $10,000. Please consider making a donation and supporting the Hubbard Family in their time of need."

Shannon Hubbard was a preschool teacher at Monomoy Regional School District, which also shared a statement about the news.

"We sadly share news of the passing of Shannon (Waldron) Hubbard in a family tragedy. Shannon was a preschool teacher at Chatham Elementary School and previously a teacher at Harwich Elementary, with many connections throughout our district’s families and staff," said Superintendent Scott Carpenter.
