Norwich – The steak dinner fundraiser planned for Saturday at the Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium has been canceled.

The Norwich Branch of the NAACP cited a lack of ticket sales as the reason for cancelling the event which was to raise funds for the annual Juneteenth Celebration and the city’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Individuals who purchased tickets for the event may call (860) 886-1686 to arrange for a refund.
