The Giving Back Girls and The Arc of Southington are holding a fund raiser for Ben Buckley a seven year old who suddenly passed away from an asthma attack in January.  The Giving Back Girls are a group of volunteers that give back to their community and The Arc of Southington is an organization that provides services for people with disabilities.   

All proceeds will go back to scholarships and grants to students in the schools in our community and to fund allergy and asthma prescriptions and research.  Checks can be made out to Cristin Buckley and dropped off at The Arc of Southington 201 West Main Street Plantsville CT.
