Franklin Park Coalition Boston Marathon Team Kickoff Party

The Franklin Park Coalition was recently selected as an official charity for the 2012 Boston Marathon. The runners and staff will be on hand at Doyle's Cafe in JP to kickoff the training season with a night of food, fun, music, and prizes.

We would love to have you join us for the night. Tickets are $20.00 in advance and available at http://www.razoo.com/story/Fpcmarathoncharityteamkickofftickets. The price includes admission, an appetizer bar, complimentary raffle tickets, and live music from local artists. Tickets will be available at the door for $25.00.

All proceeds from the night will support the teen employment and athletic programs managed by the Franklin Park Coalition (www.franklinparcoalition.org). To follow the team's progress, please visit, www.fpcmarathoncharityteam.blogspot.com.
