Always the first Sunday in May, The Walk for Hunger is the oldest continual pledge walk in the country and the largest one-day fundraiser to alleviate local hunger. For 38 years, Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger has provided critical resources for hungry children and families in Massachusetts. The 20-mile Walk route weaves through Boston, Brookline, Newton, Watertown, and Cambridge, and includes entertainment and free snacks along the way. Walkers can walk all or part of the route and can return to the Boston Common on free shuttle buses. The Walk for Hunger funds more than 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, food banks, and food salvage programs in 135 communities across Massachusetts — so its funds go to those who are in urgent need of food. It's a "come-one come-all" event that provides seven hours of community service to school children (see website for form). Fun and easy-to-use fundraising tools are also available online at www.projectbread.org.

The Mission of the American Heart Association is building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular disease and stroke, the number one and number three killers of Americans.

SBLI is pleased to support the upcoming American Heart Association’s Lawyers Have Heart 5K Road Race and Summer Celebration at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday, June 17, 2010.

SBLI is proud to continue the Stolen Base Learning Initiative (S.B.L.I.) in select Minor League ballparks. For every stolen base during a home game by the sponsored team, SBLI will make a $100 donation to a local learning-based charity. The S.B.L.I. "runs" throughout the Minor League Baseball season, and culminates with an on-field check presentation to the charity in late August.

In 2009, the S.B.L.I. benefitted charities in New Jersey via the Trenton Thunder and Lakewood Blue Claws, and in Rhode Island via the Pawtucket Red Sox.

SBLI proudly supports the Boys & Girls Club of Woburn, which provides a safe, enjoyable environment for local youths to fully realize their potential and develop into responsible young adults.
