Benefit Concert for Tom Gallagher at CHS Tomorrow

CHELMSFORD, MA - Students, faculty and staff from McCarthy Middle School are coming together to sing, dance and perform in an effort to raise money for Tom Gallagher, whose home was burned down on March 12.

The fundraiser is taking place at the Chelmsford High School Performing Arts Center on May 20 at 7 p.m.

In 2011, Gallagher suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down, and the community responded by raising money to help him then.

After another tragedy, the community and concerned supporters have donated more than $52,000 to his gofundme page that was created on March 13, the day after the fire.

Tickets to the benefit concert are $15 each and can be purchased at the doors or at Chelmsford schools.
