Nearly 400 guests came to Round Hill in South Dartmouth on Sept. 9 for the Community Foundation's annual end-of-summer gala celebration, Summer's Last Blast VII, which raised more than $80,000 to benefit the Community Foundation! The guests enjoyed a perfect late-summer evening, a gourmet meal and raw bar, top-shelf beverages, and dancing to live music. Visit our News and Events page to see all the sponsors who helped make the evening a success.
