WHY DO WE HOLD THIS EVENT EVERY YEAR?

Each year The Valley Patriot celebrates our anniversary by giving BACK to the community. Because of our annual BASH we are able to help worthy local charities we believe in such as:

One Tail at a Time Dog Rescue, College Scholarships for Lawrence High School Students, Greater Lawrence Tech School Students, Our new Artie “T” DeMoulas Market Basket Scholarship, DCS-Andover Co-Ed Softball League, The North Andover Menorah Lighting in December and many other local community events and charities. We also hold this event to honor police Officers, Firefighters, Veterans and those who protect and defend the 1st Amendment (see award nominees).

TICKETS

Massachusetts State Auditor Suzanne Bump received The Valley Patriot’s 1st Amendment Award for her work in demanding government accountability and exposing millions of dollars of fraud in the state’s welfare department and EBT cash card program. Bump also exposed the deficiencies of more than $100 million in the state’s MBTA automated fare collections system. She was attacked by members of her own party, in particular Governor Deval Patrick, but kept true to her constitutional duty by continuing to report directly to the public and standing up for her right to expose failures, fraud, waste, and abuse in state government. Auditor Bump was to receive her award last month at The Valley Patriot’s 10th Anniversary BASH but was  unable to attend due to a sickness in her family.
Massachusetts State Auditor Suzanne Bump received The Valley Patriot’s 1st Amendment Award in 2014.
