Summer fun, Trust-style
Thanks to the efforts of more than 2,300 walkers, the third annual Miles for Miracles walk raised $620,000 for Children's Hospital Boston on Saturday, June 18. Participants, including many patient families and hospital employees, took either the two- or seven-mile path along the Charles River as part of a record 158 walk teams, including 24 employee teams. The event was supported by many generous sponsors, including Kohl's, Aquafina, Stride Rite, WBZ Newsradio 1030, Mix 98-5, CambridgeSide Galleria, Credit Unions of Massachusetts, Dunkin Donuts, The Improper Bostonian and The Allied Group.
