Family & friends raising funds for North Shore DJ seriously injured in scooter crash in Jamaica
Hundreds of Scott MacDonald’s family and friends came to Cape Ann Lanes in Gloucester Sunday night to raise money to bring the well-known DJ home.

“All the donations from wherever they’re coming in, we appreciate every bit of this,” said Bernie MacDonald, Scottie’s father.
Bernie is worried sick about his son, but he’s also thankful for all the support from the Gloucester community.
Scottie’s aunt and girlfriend planned on flying down to Jamaica Saturday morning to be with Scottie until they could get him med flighted home.
There are several other fundraisers planned this week in Gloucester:
Yellow Sub Shop is giving 25% of sales on Tuesday to this cause.
Beauport Hotel Gloucester is hosting a fundraiser on Thursday evening from 6-9 pm with a silent raffle for some outstanding prizes.
