Hammersmith Family Restaurant recently made a donation to World Series Park, as it has done for many past seasons. Hammersmith is a family owned and operated restaurant that’s been serving the Saugus community for the past 47 years. They’re located at 330 Central Street in Saugus Center and are open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant is now open for inside dining with limited capacity and curbside pickup and takeout. 

“Hammersmith Family Restaurant has been one of our sponsors for many years and has unconditionally renewed their sponsorship every season,” said World Series Park superintendent Bob Davis. “When we hosted the Special Olympics, the Hammersmith staff always came to help us, even if it was after working a long day at the restaurant. We very much appreciate their long-time support.”

“We support World Series Park because it provides a great facility to play baseball in Saugus and encourages the youth of our town to participate,” said the Agganis/Politis family, which owns Hammersmith. “We also want to thank all of our long-time patrons who have stuck with us during these crazy times. Their loyalty to our business is much appreciated.”

In addition to sponsorship renewal, World Series Park is conducting a fundraiser to raise additional needed funds to install lights at the field. To assist in making this happen, World Series Park has set up a GoFundMe Charity account. People can donate by going to the World Series Park website: worldseriespark.net and click on GoFundMe. Those who donate $100 or more will have their name included on the permanent World Series Park Lighting Fund plaque that will be installed on the third base dugout. Donations can be made in memory or in honor of others. Lesser donations will gladly be accepted. 

To donate to the World Series Park Lighting Fund by mail, checks should be made payable to World Series Park and sent to World Series Park, 8 Holden Ave. Saugus, MA 01906. Please indicate that the donation is for the Lighting Fund. Donations are tax deductible.
