Legacy Foundation.
A nonprofit organization, Quinn's Legacy Foundation is seeking
to build a dual sheet ice arena in Pittsfield. The variety

On the evening of the final performance, the winner of a 2002
BMW SUV will be drawn from raffle tickets now available at
Flynn BMW/Volkswagen in Pittsfield and from any member of
the Quinn's Legacy Foundation executive board.
Director Scott Connors and Musical Director Phil Grover are
both returning to the produce the show. The cast will include
Miss Cookie Crumple, along with many of the original performers.
Quinn's Legacy Foundation Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(3);
organization dedicated to building a state-of-the-art athletic
facility. Founded by Stephen and Ann Connally of Cheshire
in memory of their son, Quinn, who died as the result of being
struck by a hockey puck in December 2000, Quinn's Legacy Foundation
has received the support of numerous corporations and residents
of Berkshire County.
Most recently the group's business plan received the support
of the MassDevelopment Finance Agency in the form of a $25,000
grant. The dual rink ice arena in Pittsfield would be used
for recreational skating, ice hockey, figure skating, speed
skating, as well as indoor soccer, lacrosse, and other indoor
events and activities.
