Description

The North Shore Health Project is pleased to announce that our Annual Ann Margaret Ferrante Legacy Health Activist Award Breakfast is scheduled for Tuesday morning, June 9^th at The Castle Manor Inn, Gloucester. Tickets are $50 and available through the Eventbrite link at the bottom of this invitation.
This year, our honoree is Sal Zerilli. Sal is the founder of Awesome Gloucester and Awesome Rockport, The Murals Project and more. Awesome Gloucester and Awesome Rockport combined have gifted over $280K in $1,000 microgrants in both communities to make them even more awesome! The Mural Project has funded original art all over Gloucester and Rockport, and Sal’s spearheading of the “Down The Fort: A Documentary and Archive Project” will ensure that important voices are never lost. The most recent project, Branded Aliens, is a partnership with Laura Ventimiglia and tells the stories of Italian-Americans in Gloucester who were ostracized during WW2. Sal exemplifies what we mean when we talk about the overall health of the community. He is a well-deserving recipient this year, and we look forward to celebrating him. You will have the opportunity to hear from people who work with Sal as well as other friends and family. Please bring a new package of socks to add to our Client Closet.

We look forward to welcoming you in June!
