The HBA is selling tickets for a drawing to be held at Celebrate Holliston (September 25, 2010).  There are over thirty prizes with the grand prize being a customized acoustic Martin Guitar DMX with a hard shell case (donated by Martin Guitar Company to Gary D’Alessandro – Quality Auto Body).  Other prizes include coupons and gifts donated by the members of the HBA.  The tickets are $5 each and $10 for 3.  Tickets will be on sale beginning June 13th at various local Holliston businesses.

The HBA’s Charitable Community Action Fund (CCAF) is the primary focus of the organization.   The CCAF is a grant fund originated by the HBA to provide financial assistance for individuals and/or families in Holliston as well as provide financial support for non-profit, civic and educational organizations all supporting the greater good of the Holliston community. 
Grant applications will be considered based on the financial hardship and circumstances of the applicant.  The grants, as well as the amount of the grants, are based on the discretion and review of the HBA CCAF committee and approval by the HBA Board of Directors.  People are authorized to apply for grants on someone else’s behalf and all grant applications and awards are discreet and kept confidential from the general public unless the information was specifically requested to be released. 

We at the HBA recognize that we have a responsibility to the community in which we work and live.  We have collectively identified our Charitable Community Action Fund as the most important thing that we can do as an organization.  For more information, contact Gary D’Alessandro at contact@thequalityautobody.com or John Drohan at jdrohan@maineffort.com.
