Mysterious Fan
An "anonymous donor" is paying to bring the Beach Boys to Wellesley.
The group that once played for nearly two million people on Independence Day 1985 will be playing for (presumably fewer) fans on the high school baseball field on the last day of Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend.
The cost of bringing the internationally known band here is being borne by an anonymous donor “who has a passion for the Beach Boys and wants to share her passion with the town,” said Roy Switzler, Celebrations Committee chairman. “It’s because of her that all this is happening.”
The committee has been working with the donor for months to ensure that all the details, such as adequate police protection and town permits, are in place. At this point, a few details are pending resolution, but the concert is a go.
