$300,000 Raised by the Family Walk & Golf Tourney
My Brother’s Keeper hosted 2 major events this summer which involved more than 1,000 people, 150 corporate sponsors and raised $300,000 to support our work serving families in need in Christ’s name. 
Family Walk. The first event was the 4th Annual My Brother’s Keeper Family Walk on June 15th. God blessed us with beautiful weather again this year– not a cloud in the sky! The day included a 3-mile walk, great food, live music and plenty of family fun.
As with everything at My Brother’s Keeper, we began in prayer. Fr. John Denning, President of Stonehill College and a member of our Board of Directors, led us in a blessing. Co-Founders Jim and Terry Orcutt then shared what it means to them to celebrate the ministry’s 25th Anniversary with so many fellow supporters:
In Scripture, God tells us: “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
God has kept His word. Twenty-five years ago, God began this ministry with magic marker fliers and an old car with borrowed roof-racks. We look at My Brother’s Keeper today and we are astounded at what He has done. The old car with borrowed roof-racks has been transformed to a fleet of nine beautiful delivery vehicles. The cellar has been replaced by this beautiful building constructed from thousands of bricks.
But, the heart of My Brother’s Keeper is not made of bricks. This ministry’s heart is made of people. The soul of My Brother’s Keeper is comprised of each of you and thousands of others, who love this ministry… this work of God. (excerpt)
The Family Walk hosted a record crowd again this year but before the first step was even taken, it was a financial success: our Development Board led by Joyce Donadio raised a record $184,000 in sponsorships!
Golf Tournament. Just 30 days later on July 15th, My Brother’s Keeper hosted our 7th Annual Golf Tourney at Foxborough Country Club. Builders, plumbers, electricians and others put down their tools and picked up their clubs to help their neighbors in need. While the Family Walk generally brings together our traditional community of supporters, the golf event attracts a new group of supporters, primarily from the construction industry.
Bill Lane Sr. from Superior Plumbing, the chair of the event, said, “In honor of the 100,000th delivery My Brother’s Keeper will make this December, we set a goal of raising $100,000 and we were successful. I’m so proud of my friends and coworkers in the construction industry. They really know how to come together to help people in need.”
