Join South Shore Health’s 2020 Boston Marathon Team!

South Shore Health is now recruiting runners to join its 2020 Boston Marathon team! This is a one-of-kind opportunity to raise money for patients in need of world-class health care on the South Shore!

South Shore Health Foundation is proud to be an official Partner of John Hancock in the Marathon Non-Profit Program. Thanks to the ongoing partnership with the John Hancock this is the ninth year South Shore Health will field a Boston Marathon team. Last year alone, Team SSH raised a record-breaking $216,000, which pushed the team’s eight-year fundraising goal to well-over $1 million for care in our community!

For the first time – Team SSH runners will have the opportunity to fundraise for behavioral health or cancer care services and programs. Runners will be able to earmark their fundraising in support of one of the following programs/services:

• Supporting the implementation of substance use disorder (SUD) and behavioral health services and initiatives at the Grayken Center for Treatment at South Shore Health.

• Cancer care at the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center in clinical affiliation with South Shore Hospital. Funds will help patients seeking care at the Cancer Center.

Team SSH runners benefit from a comprehensive program to support them in their training and fundraising efforts.
