EXPLORING THE SOUTH SHORE ONE BITE AT A TIME
Salute to G.I. Ginger Betty Foundation
G.I. Ginger Betty Foundation
There are many great organizations that support American soldiers but none quite as sweet as the G.I. Ginger Betty Foundation. Established by Beth Veneto, owner of Ginger Betty’s Bakery in Quincy, the foundation ships thousands of gingerbread cookies to deployed military personnel and also provides gingerbread houses to the families of deployed soldiers from Massachusetts each year.
Members of the public can help support the effort by attending The G.I. Ginger Betty Foundation’s 6th Annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, August 11th, from 12-5 p.m. at The Summer House Tent at Marina Bay in Quincy. There will be numerous special events taking place, such as a boardwalk parade, cookie decorating, letters for soldiers, a bouncy house and giant slide, a 50/50 raffle, a silent auction, and many other games and activities for the kids. Festival tickets include all activities and lunch (hamburger/hot dogs, dessert and drinks). $20 for adults, $5 for Kids 12 and under. 333 Victory Road, North Quincy
Tickets can be purchased at the festival. If you can’t attend the event but would still like to donate to the cause, please send your contributions to:
