Join Us Again This Year!
Last year, more than 370 of you brought your friends, families, and co-workers to DCR's Borderland State Park on a sunny day in April, to help School on Wheels of Massachusetts (SOWMA) support kids and their families impacted by homelessness.
Last year, the number of participants in this SOWMA signature event doubled over the previous year, and not only raised funds for SOWMA's life-changing work, but also raised awareness of family homelessness and what communities and individuals can do to help.
 Once again, we are fortunate to have the backing of our Anchor Sponsor, Crescent Credit Union, not only with financial support of the event, but with representation on our Outrunning Homelessness Planning Committee. It is difficult to overstate what this type of organizational commitment means to our kids, and we are thankful for all of our sponsor
companies.
We are also thankful that our Race Director this year again is Suffolk University undergraduate Dennis Harkins.
Look for Dennis and his walkie-talkie on race day!
With your continued support, School on Wheels can ensure that students impacted by homelessness don't give up on themselves or their education.
Please see the articles below for how to sign up for or sponsor the event, and, on behalf of our kids and their families, THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Opper
