A Common Cause
Many thanks to the great turnout at Classics for a Cause 4!
We are a charitable organization building awareness around suicide loss and preserving the memory of Ben. We hold annual events (listed below) in Massachusetts aimed at amplifying the generous support of our South Shore community.
The BDF is currently gauging interest in a possible bowling fundraiser event this Fall/Winter at Webster Timber Lanes (WTL) in Abington, MA. Let us know if you are interested. Also, we are enrolled in and benefit from WTLs flyer program.
We are in the planning phase for our next set of events including Comedy for a Cause 4, on April 3, 2027 at VFW Post 697, Whitman, MA. For the community, we are seeking raffle donations in the form of an experience, something product-related or gift card to promote you business. Proceeds go to the Benjamin Dufour Foundation’s philanthropic and educational aims.
If you’re able to donate, or you know someone who might be interested, please reach out and help spread the word. Thank you for the incredible support!
If you'd like to support us with a monetary donation, please do so @BDDF18 at Venmo.com.
