Meeting Street Fundraiser To Feature URI's Dan Hurley

URI's new head basketball coach Dan Hurley will serve as honorary chair for the annual Allstate Insurance and Bay Realty Reception on Tuesday, June 26, at the Coast Guard House in Narragansett, which has benefited Meeting Street School for more than three decades.

The event is chaired by Robert B. Bolton and William E. Hannan from Allstate Insurance Company and Jay Readyhough from Bay Realty Limited. Bolton, from East Greenwich, started the reception 31 years ago.

"I wanted to give something back to the community," he said recently. "I have three healthy, strong children."

Meeting Street School, located in Providence, serves children with developmental and physical disabilities.

The money raised through community events like this helps support programs and activities for the hundreds of children and young adults enrolled in one of Meeting Street’s five core services and supports: Meeting Street Early Intervention, Bright Futures Early Learning Center, The Grace School, The Carter School, and Pediatric Outpatient Therapy.

The event takes place from 5 to 8 p.m.

Tickets are $40 per person or $70 for two. There will be hors d’ouevres and a pasta station provided by Coast Guard House Restaurant. For more information or tickets, visit www.meetingstreet.org or call Aimee Harvey at 533-9230.
