MARSHFIELD, MA … The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield located at 37 Proprietors Drive, has announced the addition of a new street hockey rink and synthetic turf field. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 18.
Dawn and Mark Warsofsky, Marshfield residents and long-time supporters of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield, want to positively impact children and teens in the community by providing outdoor resources for social interaction and physical activity. “Our family is blessed to be able to support The Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield in their mission and watch the impact that our contributions have for so many local children and their families.” A significant donation from the Warsofsky Family Foundation was made for this project.
Construction by R.A.D. Sports of Rockland MA is underway on the 45’ wide by 90’ long street hockey rink and 54,000 sf synthetic turf field. The rink may be used as an ice-skating rink in the winter and the turf field offers the community year-round opportunities for sports and events.
“The Warsofsky’s are an amazing family and have been very generous to the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield as well as to other organizations,” said Jim Bunnell, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield. “We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support.”
