PLUS: 7 police departments plan charity cornhole tournament at Wamesit Lanes to benefit Make-A-Wish
The Papa Gino’s location at Oakdale Plaza, next to Market Basket, has added D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. In honor of the co-branding, the company will donate all sales tomorrow, Sept. 26, to the Tewksbury Community Pantry.
Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo share a parent company, and prior to opening a newly combined Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo restaurant, team members are asked to identify a local community organization, such as a food pantry or emergency assistance program, making a significant, positive impact in their neighborhood. The store then donates the entire first day of sales to the chosen organization. In 2022, NEAE converted six restaurants to co-branded locations, donating a total of $20,061.34 to local food pantries and relief programs through the generosity of its guests. Learn more.

Seven local police departments — the Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough and Westford Police — are joining forces to host a cornhole tournament to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The event will be Saturday, Oct. 21, from noon to 4 p.m. at Wamesit Lanes and will be a 64-team, single-elimination cornhole tournament.

“We are proud to join forces to support Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island — a great organization that grants wishes for critically ill children,” said Billerica Police Chief Roy Frost. “We invite anyone from our communities to join us at Wamesit Lanes for a fun and exciting day of fun that will benefit a truly amazing cause.”
Registration is $50 for individuals and $100 for teams, with prizes awaiting the top-performing teams in the competition. Participants must be 18 or older.
