Boston Partners in Education

This year I am fortunate to be running the Boston Marathon with Boston Partners in Education ("BPE") for the second time.

If you are not familiar with BPE please check out there website here. BPE provides in-school volunteer support to Boston Public Schools. Here are some quick facts on BPE:

  • Founded in 1966
  • 2008-2009 academic year reached 5,899 students in 69 schools throughout Boston
  • BPE has recruited, trained, placed and supported 914 volunteer mentors
  • Mentors gave a combined 37,399 hours to K-12 students equivalent to approx. $1,589,000
  • Overa 80% students who received help improved their GPAs
  • To learn more about BPE click here.

Those are the quick facts of the amazing things Boston Partners in Education does on a daily basis to help Boston Public Schools.

I am asking you to help me raise money for Boston Partners in Education in support of my marathon run. All funds received go directly to Boston Partners in Education to support their mission.
