Saugus’ World Series Park will host a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the event was moved because of the weather.
A Halloween costume contest will be featured, with kids and adults able to come in costume to be chosen as the winner of Best Costume.
All-day entertainment will be featured starting at 10 a.m., with performances from Patty Vellucci, The Memory Laners, “Uncle Steve” Furbish, Forever Unknown and Beat ConnXtionz Dance Company.
The coordinator for the event is Saugus’ own Dario Pizzano ― a professional baseball player and a member of the Saugus Little League team that competed in the Little League World Series in 2003.
Pizzano has been actively involved in fundraising for MS4MS for the last two years. His mother, Traci, has suffered with multiple sclerosis for several years, and Pizzano wanted to be part of helping to raise money for research and perhaps someday find a cure.
Sunday’s all-day event will have a fall theme with hayrides, pumpkins, corn on the cob, cider, cider donuts, and pony rides. There will also be a ceremony on the field featuring the 2003 Saugus Little League Team.
Food, booths, an auction, a raffle, the famous Carpenito Real Estate Lottery Ticket House Raffle, a display of classic cars, and some surprises will round out the day. The event will culminate with a softball game between the 2003 Saugus Little League team and a combined team of Saugus police and firefighters.
