Arsenal Mall's Touch-a-Truck, A Success


More than a dozen vehicles of all makes, models and sizes rolled into Watertown's Arsenal Mall Saturday the 6th for the fourth annual "Touch a Truck" event. It provided residents with an up-close look at a variety of trucks and vehicles.

Vehicles like the Watertown Police Department cruiser, a Massachusetts State Police cruiser, a Pizzeria Regina delivery truck, a WEEI vehicle, an American Red Cross ambulance, a dump truck, a front end loader, a BOND Bros truck, and more, gave attendees a wide array of wheels.

Blinkee the Clown made a special appearance and many got their face painted for the occasion. This year was their best yet with $2845 total dollars collected and 561 wristbands given out. With the split, they raised $1,707 for Franciscan Hospital for Children and $1138 for Simon Youth Foundation.

SYF is very grateful for the support and hard work put forth to make this event happen. It not only raises awareness about what the foundation does, it also will directly affect the students as they pursue their degrees and turn dreams into reality.
