Boston Globe Sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy Dines at Scoreboard Sports Bar and Grill with Silent Auction Winner Jack Miller

Woburn, Massachusetts – January 26, 2016 – For Boston sports fans, there is no writer more distinguished than the Globe's Dan Shaughnessy. Journalist, columnist, author and television and radio personality, Shaughnessy has most notably been a sportswriter for the Boston Globe for the past 35 years, during which he has been named Massachusetts Sportswriter of the Year eleven times, and voted one of America's top 10 sports columnists by AP Sports Editors nine times.

On December 12, 2015, Scoreboard hosted the 12th annual Ahern Family Charitable Foundation Army-Navy Football Luncheon. This year it benefited the Military Friends Foundation's Operation Santa-Massachusetts, which provides financial assistance to families associated with the Massachusetts National Guard and Reserve. The proceeds were used to provide holiday gift cards to the children of deployed and fallen soldiers. From admission to raffle tickets to silent auction items, the Ahern family and their gracious volunteers raised an outstanding number, as well as awareness and support of the organization itself.

One of the aforementioned silent auction prizes was the chance to come to Scoreboard for dinner with Dan Shaughnessy. Jack Miller, whose business is in Woburn, was the highest bidder and claimed his prize last Wednesday, January 20th.

"Thank you for all the Scoreboard does in supporting this, it is dear to my heart having a Marine Son, who has done 5 tours in the Middle East, 19 years in and now living in Amman Jordan," Miller commented the next day.

"The Ahern Family foundation does such a great job supporting the families of our troops, we consider it a privilege to be the venue of the Army-Navy luncheon," said Frank Vento, General Manager of the Crowne Plaza Boston-Woburn, " and I've been a big fan of Dan Shaughnessy's for years, so it was such an honor to have him join us."

"It was so much fun meeting Dan, I used to read his columns in The Globe growing up. He was so down to earth and easy to talk to!" said Danielle Rogers, the seasoned Scoreboard server who had the pleasure of taking care of Miller and Shaughnessy that night.

Scoreboard Sports Bar and Grill is located in the Crowne Plaza Boston-Woburn on 15 Middlesex Canal Park, right off of I-95, exit 35. For further information, please visit www.scoreboardwoburn.com or call at (781) 897-4000.
