Shaw’s and Star Market, as part of its longstanding ties to local communities for more than 150 years, is making a donation to several area little leagues. Each of their 155 stores will be donating $800 to their local youth league.

This past weekend they made their donation in Somerville. Kevin Costa, Store Director from Star located on Beacon Street, presented the check at the Pitch, Run and Hit Challenge that he hosts every year which and is open to both his league as well as the Somerville Little League. He had 100 finalists and their families participating in the day’s event. They were provided with the check as well as water for the day.
