Middleboro Elks to host fundraiser dinner, live music and wood-carving raffle to support Tunnel to Towers

MIDDLEBORO — The Middleboro Elks will host live music and a meal on Saturday, March 14, to raise funds for first responders and veterans.

The fundraiser will feature dinner, live music from the Glen Charlie Affair band and wood-carving auction and raffles at the Middleboro Elks lodge, located at 24 High St. Ticket costs range from $5 to $30, and the funds raised will benefit The Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

The dinner will include a traditional corned beef and cabbage meal. Without the meal, attendees can donate $5 or $10 to enjoy the event’s live music and raffle.

Tickets cost $25 for pre-orders, $30 at the door and $15 for attendees age 10 and below. There will be kid-friendly meal options. 

Dinner will be served from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the lodge, and the band will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. A cash bar will also be available.

The raffle and auction will include wood sculptures, created by Lakeville resident and wood-carving artist Wayne DeMoranville, with all proceeds supporting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. DeMoranville is accepting bids for the auction item — a 4-foot-tall Bald Eagle sculpture — and smaller wood carving artworks will be raffled off.

The foundation provides assistance to families of fallen first responders and injured veterans.

Tickets may be preordered through the lodge or by calling Wayne DeMoranville at 508-947-2393. If people cannot attend the event but wish to donate, they can purchase a ticket for a veteran in the community to attend the event.
