FAIRHAVEN, MASS. (WHDH) - Community members in Fairhaven are rallying together in the hopes of rebuilding a 68-year-old athletic club that went up in flames over the weekend.
The Livesey Memorial Club burned down early Sunday morning after an electrical issue in the attic sparked a blaze, Club President John Roderiques said.
And now a GoFundMe account has been created to help raise money for the Hopkins Street nonprofit, which has “numerous members who devote countless house of volunteer work to keep youth sports strong in Fairhaven and to make sure every child has a chance to to (sic) follow their sports dreams,” according to the page.
Almost $1,500 had been raised as of Tuesday morning.
