Boston’s Run to Remember 2008

On Saturday May 24th and Sunday May 25th The Boston Police Department and Boston Police Runner's Club will hold the fourth running of Boston's Run to Remember.

The “Run to Remember” is held in honor of Massachusetts law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. This event is a two day run (one 5 mile road race and one half marathon) in celebration of the fallen officer’s lives as well as a show of respect for their ultimate sacrifice.

-Boys and Girls Club Memberships, YMCAs and other after school programs.
-Summer programs and camps for over 600 youths annually.

Other organizations benefiting from the Kids At Risk Program include:

-BGCB Young Leaders Program
