Boys & Girls Club Receives $25,000 Donation for New Van

The Boys & Girls Club of Stoneham were the recipient of a $25,000 donation courtesy of the 99 Restaurant, the Bruins Alumni Association and other local companies. On-hand at the check presentation was former Bruins great, Rick Middleton.

$25,000 for a new van Thursday afternoon, the Boys & Girls Club of Stoneham received donations totaling $25,000 from several area businesses and organizations. Among the donors were the Ninety Nine Restaurant, the Bruins Alumni Association, Stoneham Ford, StonehamBank and Eastern Bank, raised through the profits of the 99 Legends vs. Bruins Alumni Game that took place in March.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost Outselling All V6-Pickup Competitors Combined

EcoBoost technology makes inroads with V8-loving truck buyers.

[Editor's note: The following information derives from a press statement issued by Stoneham Ford.] Pickup truck buyers are grabbing V6-equipped Ford F-150s at an impressive clip, thanks to the speedy adoption of Ford's EcoBoost technology and increased fuel economy on all six-cylinder F-Series models. July marked the third consecutive month that U.S. Ford dealerships sold more V6 models of the Ford F-Series than V8-powered F-Series models. Meanwhile, the Ford F-150 EcoBoost V6 sold more on its own than all of its V6 pickup competitors combined during the month. Spurring the sales boom are Ford's two new V6 powerplants, a 3.5-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine and a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated unit, both of which provide power without …
