PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Committee to Elect Pam Malumphy for Pittsfield mayor is hosting a fundraising campaign event at Mazzeo's Ristorante on Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The campaign welcomes all candidates to attend the "Certification Celebration" for all those whose names will appear on the Sept. 22 primary election ballot. Aug. 18 is final day of eligibility (when the submitted nomination signatures are certified) for the September ballot.

Noting that the ballot will be filled with many new names and several contested primary races, Malumphy's Committee wanted to kick off the campaign season on a celebratory note.

Suggested donations to the event run from $1 to $100 and everyone from the community is welcome to attend. Mazzeo's Ristorante is located at 7 Winter St.
