Good afternoon,
The 8th Annual BFit Challenge has been announced, it will take place January 28, 2024 at the TD Garden. This is a Group 1 day & D Vacation Group. Interested members please contact me prior to signing up so we can have the appropriate amount of people per team.
Currently we have one team registered and as that fills up we will add more teams as needed. This is a great event that raises a ton of money for great causes. This year our teams will raise money for the PFFM - New England Fire Fighter Cancer Fund.
Hope to see everyone there!
Thank You

Brothers and Sisters,
Two years ago my girlfriend and her best friend co-founded The Wandering Heart Project. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides clothing and essentials to foster and homeless kids all over Massachusetts. They have since made over 1000 deliveries including dozens of kids specifically in the City of Cambridge. I have personally delivered to many of these kids and get to see how just a simple bag of clothing can light up their day.
This coming Saturday, The Wandering Heart Project is holding its first-ever fundraiser in Carver MA. It will be held at Brewery 44 in Carver from 1-9 pm. There will be beer, music, and food as well as a 50/50 and raffle prizes. I realize Carver is quite far for many of you so I have attached a raffle list since you do not need to be present to win any of the prizes. You can send donations via Venmo to @wanderingheartproject or my Venmo if you have it. Please specify which prize basket you are putting in for or the 50/50, along with your phone number.
Many of you have already donated and I thank you so much! This is an amazing organization that has the potential to reach so many more kids in need.
Respectfully,
Ben Quigley
Rescue 1/ Group 1
