More than 125 turned out. They bid on a silent auc- tion, enjoyed food and drink, and took part in a community walk, with a brief ceremony on the Veterans Memo- rial Bridge. Pink Night began as a breast cancer awareness event to support Austin — pink ribbons signify breast cancer awareness, October is breast cancer awareness month, Fresh Salon is a female-centric business — but Funds For Family aims to help people battling all forms of the disease. “We just wanted to help anyone affected by cancer. It didn’t feel right to say ‘It’s not breast cancer, we can’t help you.,’” Weir said. “Cancer is cancer. It doesn’t dis- criminate. It doesn’t pick a race, a sex, or anything like that.” This year’s Pink Night raised approximately $4,000 toward Funds For Families. The charity is just getting off the ground.

If we have questions, we can invite people to come and meet with us and share their struggle, to figure out what would be the best way to help them,” Weir said. “We want it to be personal, we want to help our neighbors through this.” Austin remembers the financial impact when she was in treatment. She went to Massachusetts General Hospi- tal for surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy, which was a six hour round trip each time. Someone had to drive her. They required money for meals. She had to take the following day off to recover. Luckily she was self-employed and her husband worked a good job, so she could keep up with household finances and continue working in a limited capacity. But she knows many in the Littleton area aren’t so lucky. And she hopes Funds For Families can make a difference for them. Said Austin, “We’re going to do what it takes to make it less stressful when you’re in the middle of this battle.” For more information, or to make a donation, visit their web site at www.funds-for-families.org, find them on facebook.com/fundsforfamilies or stop by Fresh Sa- lon, located at the Tannery Marketplace, 111 Saranac St. in Littleton.

A doubleheader of acoustical entertainment is heading to the Tillotson Center on Saturday, October 6, as a pair of talented duos — Sparrow Blue and Crowes Pasture — take the stage. Describing themselves as a “fiddle and acoustic guitar songwriting duo from southeastern Massachusetts,” Sparrow Blue consists of Katy Boc and Todd Nickerson. They met in 2014 and soon learned they shared a love for American Roots music. “At the time they were each involved in separate musical projects, but it wasn’t long until they began performing together as a duo,” according to their website. “Since then, Sparrow Blue has released an EP and a full- length album, and performed at venues such as the Spire Cen- ter for the Performing Arts, Club Passim, TOAD Cambridge, Atwoods Tavern, and Rockwood Music Hall.” Featuring 11 tunes, their newest release is “Rabbit in the Moon.” Joining Katy and Todd at the Center are Monique Byrne and Andy Rogovin as Crowes Pasture, a duo whose music has been described as “leather and lace.” They use “classic and contemporary folk music in a style that draws from old-time, folk and bluegrass traditions. Performing on guitar and banjo, they draw inspiration from both traditional folk storytellers like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan and icons of vocal harmo- classically-trained solo pianist who amazed Tillotson Center ican, where he was the organist for a Sunday morning mass. ny like the Carter Family and Simon & Garfunkel,” according audiences with his skill and ability to compose on the fly.
