The Holliston Lions has made a donation of $4,500 to the Holliston Tax Relief Fund. 

On July 10, Mike McKenna, Immediate Past President of the Holliston Lions, presented a bank check to the Select Board. 

“Everything we make gives back to the community so I have a check tonight for the Holliston Tax Relief Fund for $4,500,” said McKenna, noting that amount included proceeds from the club’s annual golf tournament, carnival, and other events. 

Select Board Chair John Cronin, a former assessor, thanked the Lions for the donation. 

“The Holliston Tax Relief Fund is sort of a safety net for individuals who are having difficulty making their tax payments,” said Cronin, noting there are tax exemptions and relief available to taxpayers if they meet certain criteria, but this specific fund is for people who do not meet those specific requirements.

The Holliston Lions raises money for many local causes including the food pantry, public library, scholarships, etc., and supports national causes related to diabetes and eye health.
