We are hosting a Kick Off Event on April 28th for the Walk Mass Challenge.  

Walk Massachusetts is a community-wide walking challenge running May 1 - October 31, 2023 and is open to community members aged 18+. Each participant chooses from one of four predetermined challenges which are based on distance or frequency. Individuals who complete the challenge receive raffle prize entries for themselves and their council on aging. Individual prizes include gift cards of Visa ($50), Amazon ($25) and Dunkin’ ($10). Councils on aging prize levels range $250-1,000!
 
Originally designed for adults aged 60 and above, this annual program run by the Massachusetts Councils on Aging (MCOA) is now an intergenerational initiative. Anyone aged 18-59 years old is encouraged to participate by walking and sponsoring an older adult of their choice! “Having a classroom of 5th grade children sponsoring older adults, strengthens ties within the community, improves one’s health and may be a catalyst for additional intergenerational learning” said Lynn Wolf, MCOA’s Communications Manager.
