“Gonk Knocks” event supports two organizations

An auction, raffle, food, bowling, pool and arcade games are only part of the Gonk Knocks Football Event scheduled for Monday, November 25 at APEX Entertainment Center in Marlborough from 6:30-10:30 pm. More importantly, the proceeds from the event will benefit two great organizations:  Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and Algonquin Tomahawk Boosters.

Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) sophomore Andrew Roberts has been blogging about sports for over five years. His chronicles of the ARHS Football team during training camp, entitled Gonk Knocks, will be premiered on the big screen as part of the evening highlights.

Andrew has an active fellowship through The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.  He reports and produces content for the Foundation. As a Flutie Fellow, Andrew works towards his career goals, promotes respect, inclusion and opportunities for people with autism, and serves as an ambassador for the Foundation.

Reserve your tickets in advance online. Cost is $35/ticket; $25/students, teachers, coaches (plus a small processing fees).

Raffles and auction bidding can be done on line as well. Raffles include gift cards to restaurants, jewelry, and local businesses. Auction items have fitness memberships and lots of autographed sports memorabilia and jerseys from your favorite Boston teams up for grabs.

Donate directly to help reach the goal of $20,000.

Emcee for the evening is Mike “Sarge” Riley of 98.5 The Sports Hub.
