Thank you for visiting our BC Race to Educate fundraising page!
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, our family will be at Boston College for the 16th Annual Race to Educate, supporting Matty & Ellie's school, Saint Columbkille Partnership School (St. Col’s) in Brighton, MA.
This race is the school’s primary fundraiser and directly supports its mission to make a high-quality Catholic education accessible to all. Nearly 50% of students receive financial aid, making it possible for families of all backgrounds to be part of this community.
Our goal this year is to raise $200,000, and every gift--of any size--makes a real impact. All contributions are tax deductible, and we’re truly grateful for your support!
The race is also open to the public, and we’d love for you to join us! It will be a fun, family-friendly morning featuring a Kids’ Fun Run, plus a great atmosphere with music, food, and activities--starting and ending in Alumni Stadium.
