Third Annual Foley's 5K to Benefit Mass Hospital School

Local favorite restaurant, Foley’s Backstreet Grille is holding its Third Annual 5K to benefit the Mass Hospital School on Sunday April 12th.

The Mass Hopsital School, located in Canton, is a health care facility that provides care to children and young adults who have severe and/or multiple disabilities. It is a wonderful place that provides medical and rehabilitative care so that its patients can each their full potential. Affiliated with the Department of Public Health, it is a non-profit always in need of more funds for its budget.

Foley’s has been sponsoring a 5K to benefit the school since 2013. They also host an annual Golf Tournament to benefit the school later in the spring. Both events have combined to raise thousands of dollars for the local school.

The Third Annual Foley’s Backstreet Grille 5K at the Mass Hospital School will be held on April 12, 2015 at 12:00 pm at 3 Randolph St., Canton. Registration begins at 10:00 am at the Mass Hospital School Gym. The race will start and finish on the grounds of the Mass Hospital School, with a post-race party to follow immediately after the race.

Cost of registration is $20.00 through Saturday April 11th and $25.00 on race day. Registration can be done online by visiting the link directly from www.backstreetgrille.com or at www.foleysbackstreet5k.racewire.com. The first 500 people to register get a free t-shirt. For more information call Foley’s at 781-297-0100.

Foley’s Backstreet Grille is a great local restaurant - one of my favorites with some of the best seafood around. Run by Canton residents Dave & Karen Foley, Foley’s Backstreet Grille does a lot to give back to the community, not only by running events like this but also through their donations to other local events to support the schools, performing arts and more. They really know how to pay it forward.

My husband runs this race every year. I’ll be there watching. I hope to see some Patch readers there!
