Dear Editor:
The Harlem Wizards game on November 16th, hosted by A Healthy Lynnfield, was a huge success again this year. The Lynnfield High School gymnasium was packed for the third year in-a-row to watch the incredibly talented and thoroughly entertaining Harlem Wizards. The Wizards took on the Healthy Lynnfield All-Stars, a volunteer team comprised of representatives from Lynnfield public schools, police, and youth sports. It was a fun evening that raised over $20,000 to support A Healthy Lynnfield, an active community partnership working hard to empower residents to make positive choices every day.
Thank you to everyone that helped make the event a success, including:
- The players, coaches, and referees for the A Healthy Lynnfield All-Stars team.
- The Lynnfield Senior Center’s POMtastics cheer team for their very entertaining halftime show
- The Lynnfield Unified Basketball team, who played during the third quarter
- Parent volunteers and LMS and LHS student volunteers
- A Healthy Lynnfield Board of Directors
- Lynnfield Media Studios for videotaping the event
- MVP Sponsor: Wellpoint
- Cheerleader Sponsors: Hixon and Bevilacqua Home Group, JM Electrical Company, and MarketStreet Lynnfield
- Fans Sponsors: Realtor Ellen Rubicco Crawford, GTA, and James Hook & Company

Family and community connections play a very important role in our kids’ social-and-emotional well-being and that was on full display the entire event. Together, we can prevent substance misuse, improve the quality of life for those impacted, and support programs that help all young people thrive.
Sincerely,
