This event is the next stop on The NA Happy Hour's Charity Tour. We will be holding a virtual 5K race this October 9th-16th.
The NA Happy Hour has partnered with The Joey O’Donnell Cystic Fibrosis Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to host a charity virtual 5K through the week of October 9th-16th! Not only will participants be benefiting a fantastic organization they will also receive a unique NA Happy Hour medal, ability to win our very own NA Beer Starter Pack, invited to a virtual happy hour, and of course - have fun!
The pediatric CF program at MassGeneral Hospital for Children is a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation accredited pediatric CF clinic committed to providing first-class, individualized care for each patient. They have an established multidisciplinary team to provide preventive care, active management of lung health, nutrition support and psychological support. Optimal treatment is accomplished through frequent outpatient visits with the CF care team, direct communication with families, and educational programs.The NA Happy Hour pairs with charity organizations close to our hearts. This organization was selected by Chris, one of The Happy Hour’s Co-Founders. He ran the Boston Marathon last year to raise over $7,000.00 because he truly believes in the work they are doing. Chris has seen the impact of Cystic Fibrosis on friends. We are so excited to be able to partner with this incredible organization and raise money to help continue the incredible research they are conducting.
