Marshfield Polar Express Magical Train Ride was a Hit – $30K Raised

The Marshfield Polar Express came to life this past Saturday on the Kingston commuter rail as the train made its magical round trip journey to the North Pole.

There was plenty of laughter and caroling aboard the Polar Express, as children of all ages and adults were entertained by Santa’s elves and Mrs. Claus while drinking hot chocolate and snacking on fresh baked cookies. Upon their arrival at the “North Pole”, each child wrote their Christmas wish on Santa’s scroll and received a special gift from Santa, so they may always believe.

The four, one-hour train rides were nearly filled to capacity. All proceeds from the Polar Express benefited the privately funded, non-profit the Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield. More than $30,000 was raised and will support programs and scholarships at the club.

This event was sponsored by Sam’s Club, Tiny & Sons Glass, ACT Smart, Inc., Dunkin Donuts, Family Crest Catering, EmbroidMe, Venus II Restaurant, Ninety Nine Restaurants, Marshfield Mini Storage, Roche Bros., Rockland Trust, Scituate Federal Savings and Vertex.

“This was the first year we held a Polar Express event and we’re delighted with the success of it. Thanks to everyone who volunteered; our staff who worked tirelessly to pull it together and all who generously sponsored the event. It was a great day out. We’ll certainly consider another Polar Express fundraiser in the future,” noted Greg Jackson, Executive Director of Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield.
