Team Brookline Runs Virtual Boston Marathon!

Now that the Boston Marathon is officially canceled, we want to thank all of the Team Brookline Runners for the many hours of hard work and training they put in for this event.  A special thank you to our very own BEF runners: Jennifer Buller, Chris Maddocks, Robert Neer, Jonathan Schneiderman, and Natalie Velasquez! Together, they raised over $35,000 for the BEF programs and grants. Thank you! We'll be with you in spirit, if you decide to participate in the virtual Marathon in September!
