Fundraising

Fifteen hundred people participated in the 14th Annual Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port, presented by Country Kitchen, a run, walk and cycle fundraiser from Boston to Hyannis Port, on May 31 and  June 1. The Challenge raised $4.5 million in total donations for Best Buddies International, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment and leadership training for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Best Buddies Global Ambassador and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Congressman Joe Kennedy III co-chaired the weekend-long event.
