"We're hoping to sell the place out to show these cowards why Boston is the Hub of the Universe!" Chris Flahive of Lots of Laughs said.

The Greg Hill Foundation was established by WAAF's Greg Hill to help local families impacted by tragedy. All money given to the foundation goes directly to families who need it.
