Marblehead Dollars for Scholars is also hosting a Charity Night Dinner at The Landing on April 15 from 6-9 p.m. The waterfront restaurant will donate a percentage of all food and drink purchases that evening to the local nonprofit organization that, since 1987, has provided financial need-based scholarships to Marblehead students pursuing a college education.
The festivities will also include a raffle for a Shubie’s gift basket and a silent auction with great prizes, such as a round of golf at Tedesco Country Club, Red Sox tickets, and a flag from the Masters Golf Tournament. Call The Landing at 781-639-1266 to make your reservation.
