Luke Russert, son of Tim Russert, chats with Andrew about the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club Summer Groove happening outside this year to benefit Nantucket's youth:
"In 2002, the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club held the first “Summer Groove” event, and a highlight of the event was the Master of Ceremonies, Tim Russert. This event signaled the beginning of Tim’s relationship with the Club, as he joined the Board of Trustees in 2003 and continued as the Master of Ceremonies of the event each year, until his passing in 2008. In 2009, the event was renamed to honor Tim, and the Tim Russert Spirit of Hope Award was established to continue his legacy.
In the years since that first event, the Tim Russert Summer Groove has raised more than $12 million in support of the youth of Nantucket. We are excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the award this year. We invite you to support the 2022 Tim Russert Summer Groove through a sponsorship to continue the tradition of Tim’s commitment to the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club."
