Fundraising Events/Opportunities

The Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center hosts two signature events each year. Our staff, patients and the community join us for A Mile in My Shoes: Walk and Run for a Healthier Community. This event calls attention to the importance of our work through a healthy and fun family activity.

We also host the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Awards, a program that honors one individual and one organization making an impact on the health and wellness of the communities we serve. This opportunity allows the community to recognize the good works of those who support the mission and vision of Kennedy CHC.

Support for these events can be made through sponsorships, donations and attendance. For more information, contact Paula Green, Vice President, Advancement at paula.green@kennedychc.org
