Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This just in from the Hanover Mall!
Hanover Mall is excited to announce its support of Red Sox Foundation and
Massachusetts General Hospital’s own Home Base Program by having its first
official "Spring Training 5K Walk" . Our "Spring Training 5K Walk" will
take place from 9:00 a.m. – noon on Wednesday, February 23rd (during
February school vacation) inside the Hanover Mall. Our goal is to raise
$10,000 dollars.
About The Foundation:
The Home Base Program offers assistance to veterans of war coping with
combat stress, will honor heroic veterans, and help raise much needed funds
for the new Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base
Program, which provides psychiatric care and community outreach to the many
veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat stress disorders
and/or traumatic brain injury and their families.
How To Join:
Participation in the "Spring Training 5K Walk" is open to all and costs just
$20 to participate. Join before 2/15/2011 and receive a special prize!
Visit www.hanovermall.com
or the public
safety center located in the Sears wing for a registration form. Sign up as
a team! Teams of four registered participants will get a GRAND SLAM prize!
Where Do I Complete the 5K:
Bring your completed registration form along with a $20 participation fee
and your funds raised on Wednesday, February 23rd between 9:00 a.m. and
noon to center court of the mall. "Walk the bases" (6 times around the
inside of Hanover Mall = 6 home runs or 5K). We will have entertainment,
refreshments and many prizes given away throughout the event.
How To Donate:
Any contribution, large or small, is graciously welcome. In addition to the
registration fee, participants can solicit donations from friends and
family. Donations may also be made directly online at:
