It’s Giving Week! Boston Medical Center’s Child Life team were a gift to the McGrath family at their darkest hours.
As the first anniversary of the accident approached, the McGrath’s knew they needed to do and feel anything positive during that time. From there, this annual Colin’s Joy Project Giving Week emerged.
The McGrath Family works each year with BMC’s Child Life team to share an Amazon wish list to support the work of their program. This giving week provides materials that can help support other families in their time of need.
As the 8th anniversary of the accident approaches, please consider donating an item to honor the work of these wonderful people, Colin’s memory, and Sloane’s journey. Items donated will allow their team to bring smiles to the faces of scared children and help ease their fears when they are in the hospital.
For shipping, please use the wishlist Delivery Address of Boston Medical Center. For those who have donated before and had trouble with this, we updated the address so there shouldn’t be issues this year! Link is in our bio!

Tax ID #04-3314093

Looking for other ways to support Colin’s Joy Project during the anniversary? Consider making a donation directly to Colin’s Joy Project, or spread JOY with a purchase from our Colin’s Joy Project online shop!
As always, thank you for your support to help spread JOY in Colin’s name

These supplies are vital in supporting families who have recently lost a child and were cared for at Mass General Brigham.

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!
