Family-Fun Event Coming to Needham to Support the Last Call Foundation's Boston Marathon Team!

Fundraise fun-style with raffles, door prizes along with a cash bar and kid-friendly drinks. Proceeds support the Last Call Foundation.

The generous owners of Needham Bowlaway, Zach and Taryn Sundberg, have graciously donated the use of their awesome bowling alley to host Boston Marathon fundraiser for members of the Last Call Foundation run team on March 10th, 2016, from 7-10pm!

Team LCF is back running the Boston Marathon as part of the John Hancock non-profit program for the second year in a row! The mission of the Last Call Foundation is to provide funding, education and research to advance the safety needs of the Boston firefighting community!

The Last Call Foundation was founded by Kathy Crosby-Bell in honor of her son, fallen Firefighter Michael Ryan Kennedy, who along with Lieutenant Edward Walsh died battling the nine-alarm fire on March 26, 2014 in Boston’s Back Bay. This tragedy highlighted the unique challenges facing Boston’s firefighters. The Last Call Foundation is committed to identifying and addressing these challenges to enhance Boston firefighters’ ability to safely and effectively fight fires and protect each of us. With your help, we can avoid future tragedy and, hopefully, save lives.
