Six Non-Profits to Donate to The One Fund Boston on April 25

An upcoming event in downtown Boston will now be raising money for families affected by the explosions at the Boston Marathon earlier this week.

An email sent to us from 451 Marketing indicates that on Thursday, April 25, the six non-profits involved with the Friends with Benefits Gala at The State Room will donate 50 percent of the event's proceeds to The One Fund Boston, which Governor Deval Patrick and Mayor Tom Menino helped form to raise money to help families most affected by Monday's tragedy. The organizations involved include The Boston Bruins Foundation, College Bound Dorchester, The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, The Ellie Fund, The International Rett Syndrome Foundation, and Longwood Giving, while restaurants that will be participating in the event include Abby Park, Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen, Deuxave, Farmstead Table, Local 149, Posto Restaurant, Restaurant dante, The State Room, Tresca, and Turner Fisheries.
