Hello all! We are once again launching our annual Mother’s Day to Father’s Day drive in honor of our partnership with MGBfC’s Pediatric Bereavement Program. Please see the link in our bio for our Amazon wishlist which will provide supplies to their program. These supplies are vital in supporting families who have recently lost a child and were cared for at Mass General Brigham. As always, thank you for supporting Colin’s Joy Project and our mission of supporting families during hard times in hopes of spreading joy in his name.

kicked off marathon weekend yesterday with brunch at the ! We can’t thank The Seapoint for graciously hosting us every year to honor our team and some very special people that have been so generous to over the years.

Colin’s Joy Project would like to recognize Dr Meagan Wasfy and Yvonne Ortiz with the Colin’s Joy Project Changemaker Awards. Meagan is the medical director for the marathon, and in her role receives a complimentary bib she can share. For the past 3 years, she has chosen to share that bib with Colin’s Joy Project, enabling us to raise over $30,000!

Yvonne Ortiz in the mayor’s office has been integral in helping Colin’s Joy Project build Team Colin and have the presence we have had. In the past 8 years, her commitment and generosity has helped Team Colin raised nearly $900,000!

We are so grateful to Meagan and Yvonne for helping Colin’s Joy Project have such a presence in the Boston Marathon and impact in our community!

Special thanks to Amy Dow, Vice President of Public Relations & Government Affairs Amy has help organize all of Team Colin’s New Balance gear for their 26.2mi journey from Hopkinton to Boston! Thank you Amy 💚

To our amazing team, you’ve trained for this day and it’s finally here. We are so very proud of you and feel so lucky to have you in Colin’s corner. Because of your hard work and dedication, you as a team have raised $140k in Colin’s name! We are so grateful to each and everyone of you and we can’t wait to cheer you all on along the route! Special thanks for our Team Colin members that ran the Paris Marathon a few weeks back and raised $20k! We are so blessed to have the community we have!

Now….LETS GOOOOOOOO!

Last Sunday was a day ! took on in our annual matchup and what fun they had! Thank you to all who came out to support this fun day and especially to all those kiddos that showed up for the teddy bear toss! Those are on their way to brighten up some children’s programs in need. NYPD took the win this year so congrats to them and thank you for this wonderful ongoing partnership you have with Colin’s Joy Project. Thank you to our friends and family who came to volunteer their time at the Rinx on Sunday. It truly was such an amazing day. You may notice one of Team Colin’s team captains is missing from the photos. That would be Sloane. We stayed back in Boston to cheer her on the ice locally in a big playoff game. Not only did Sloane’s team take the win, but she got the WINNING goal! We were sad to miss the day at the Rinx but happy to see Sloane’s team succeed!
