Scholarship Fundraiser/Silent Auction Thursday at Estragon

Blackstone/Franklin Square Neighborhood Association's annual event is this Thursday, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Want to help college-bound high school seniors in the South End pay for their first-semester books, supplies or a computer?

The Blackstone/Franklin Square Neighborhood Association is holding its annual Scholarship Fundraiser/Silent Auction from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, at Estragon.

The event, in its sixth year, provides $1,000 scholarships to the matriculating students in June to help defray some of their college costs, other than tuition.
