📣 Help us spread the word about the KennedyStrong Let’s Get Moving 5K!

We’re looking for volunteers to take a few flyers to local businesses and community gathering places. You can help by sharing:
▸ Registration flyers at gyms, schools, libraries, churches, coffee shops, recreation centers, and community boards
▸ Sponsorship flyers with restaurants, retailers, service providers, healthcare offices, and other local businesses

The flyers can be printed on a home printer. The registration sheet with the QR code is designed to be cut in half.

Please ask permission before displaying a flyer. When you place one, snap a photo and tag KennedyStrong so we can celebrate every corner of the community helping us get moving!

💔 The world lost an icon.

Dolly Parton will be remembered for the rhinestones, her unmistakable voice, her incredible storytelling songs and a personality somehow even bigger than her hair!

But she will also be remembered for what she did with her success.

Dolly believed in opening doors for others — especially children. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she put hundreds of millions of books into the hands of children around the world, regardless of their family’s income. She also helped make those stories accessible to children who are blind or have low vision through audio and Braille books.

She understood something we believe deeply: EVERYONE deserves the opportunity to learn, dream, participate and become more.

Dolly once said she hoped to be remembered as someone who tried to do some good in the world.

Mission accomplished ❤️

Thank you for the music, the laughter, the generosity, and for showing us that you can wear rhinestones, dream ridiculously big, and still spend your life making room for others.

Rest easy, Dolly. We will always love you 🦋
