Boston Marathon

The South Shore Health Foundation is proud to be an official partner of John Hancock in the Marathon Non-Profit Program for the 2020 Boston Marathon®.

Over the last eight years, our Boston Marathon team has raised more than $1.2 million for care in our community.

Exciting news! Team South Shore Health runners will be fundraising for either behavioral health or cancer care services and programs at South Shore Health for the 2020 Boston Marathon.

Each year, more than 1,000 new patients seek care at the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center in clinical affiliation with South Shore Hospital. Funds raised by our team support those patients.

The Grayken Center for Treatment at South Shore Health is a collection of behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) services and initiatives created to address the many needs of the communities we serve.  

Are you a qualified B.A.A. athlete registered for Boston? We would love for you to join Team South Shore Health!

You get all the perks that come with being a charity racer on our team. Contact Michelle Hunt, Philanthropy Officer, Annual Giving at 781-624-8210 or mhunt [at] southshorehealth.org.
