Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover High School teacher Mark Malloy’s senior classes are participating
in a fundraiser that they hope you might consider supporting. It is called
"Run to Home Base" (http://www.runtohomebase.org/). The Home Base Program
is a new philanthropic partnership between the Red Sox Foundation and
Massachusetts General Hospital dedicated to improving the lives of New
England servicemen and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat
stress disorders and/or traumatic brain injury through clinical care,
innovative research, education, family support and community outreach.
Mr. Malloy’s students have pledged to raise $5,000 by May 23rd. They will
be selling t-shirts in the Hanover schools to raise money. Rockland
Athletics is very supportive and it is hoped that the sales of the t-shirts
will go a long way to help the students reach their goal.
The other major way the students hope to raise money is by e-mailing you!
Any amount will be greatly appreciated. They just started the other day and
have had donations ranging from $10 – $50. Every little bit helps! The war
and the reminders of war stay with many of our veterans. Our military
personnel have made incredible sacrifices to protect our freedoms.
Supporting the "Run to Home Base" program is a small way to show our
veterans our appreciation for their efforts.
