This successful fundraiser for the Angel Fund for ALS Research attracted nearly 200 participants, including Town Manager Jeff Hull, Library Director Tina Stewart, Public Buildings Director George Hooper, Selectman Chair Mike Champoux, Wilmington School Committee member Steve Bjork, Shawsheen Tech School Committee member Robert Peterson Sr., and Wilmington Recreation Commission Chair — and Wilmington Rotary President — Michael Burns, just to name a few!
