It’s Friday-so it’s High Five time! This week’s honor goes to The Next 26 of Boston.
The Organization: The Next 26 is a movement of people participating in 26 social, sporting, and service events to make Boston stronger and more united by Marathon 2014.
The Mission:
To honor the heroes and victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon by building a vibrant community dedicated to serving our neighbors, celebrating our city, and strengthening our ties to each other.
The plan: The organizers will be hosting 26 events over the next 11 months, ending just before the 2014 Boston Marathon, with all proceeds donated to the One Fund Boston.
The kick-off event took place last night at the Mass Ave Tavern. It was a chance to meet and greet the founders, Chris Mathison and Nicholas Leydon. Cold beer, yummy apps, Next 26 t-shirts and lots of old friends coming together to support a worthy cause.
The next event happens Sunday, June 23rd at the Lansdowne Pub. This is an all-day music event featuring live bands! $20 cover-all proceeds go directly to the One Fund.
The goal: To raise $100,000.00 of donated funds for the One Fund Boston, by Marathon Monday, 2014!
