Story

Being back and doing community work in Charlestown the last year has been amazing!  This year, I am once again raising donations in David's name to help drive some of the community impact we were able to accomplish in 2021, including:

-providing swim lessons free of charge to 150 Charlestown kids that otherwise would not be able to avoid this life skill

-certifying 50 teens as lifeguards to keep our pools and waterfronts safe this summer.  Many of which this was their first summer job!

-hours of free gym space so ongoing Charlestown youth development programs could continue to run when it started to get cold

-hosted multiple vaccination clinics

-Partnered with other organizations to deliver 200 goodie bags to Charlestown seniors during the "Townie Santa" event

-provided 250 families with full Thanksgiving meals; focusing on homebound seniors and veterans

Be a doer and help us continue to offer these programs to all in the Charlestown community!
