Earlier this week JFS hosted a kickoff event for our runners on Team Framingham running the 2024 Boston Marathon! Jack’s Abby graciously hosted the event and gave back 20% of the proceeds from the day. There were great raffles, silent auctions, and t-shirts to support JFS and our work in the community. Many people showed up to support our runners and thank them for running for a good cause! Thank you to all who ordered take out, dine in, entered the raffles, and donated! A shout out to the Framingham Fire Department for showing up and supporting the event especially their very own Asst Chief Shultz.

The JFS runners are raising funds. There are links in each runner’s profile.
