Marshall says it’s a remarkable achievement in such a short period of time.
Marshall says one way supporters can contribute to the campaign is this week’s “Love U2” Tribute Concert Fund-Raiser Friday and Saturday night at the Immaculata Auditorium.
The concert is a co-production with Antigonish Peforming Arts series; the concert series sponsor is Highcrest Enterprises.
