October 2021 – Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester

BOSTON, MA — Team BGCD had fourteen runners who took on the challenge of running 26.2 miles at the Boston Marathon. Each team member had their own personal goal and successfully crossed the finish.

It was a beautiful Fall day as Club staff, family members and spectators cheered all the way from Hopkinton to Copley Square. Our runners have spent months training for the Marathon and helping to fundraise on behalf of the Club. So far, they have raised over $127,000 in support of our Clubs and we are so grateful for all of their efforts.

Congratulations to all runners for achieving such an amazing accomplishment and for being champions to all of us at BGCD!

BOSTON, MA — On September 25, BGCD participated in the 31st annual Rodman Ride for Kids!

Rodman Ride for Kids is the #1 athletic event in the country that helps support at risk youth. It’s not too late to support Team BGCD in this year’s Rodman Ride. This year we had 26 in-person Riders who did the 25 or 50 mile route as well as 25 others who participated in the “Choose Your Own Adventure” virtual Ride. Our team was made up of staff, board members, alumni and friends, all of whom showed up to help support programming at BGCD.

A special thank you to Boston Credit Union for sponsoring our Team, and thanks to all of our riders who worked hard to fundraise for our Clubs!
