May 2015
Mark your calendars as the 25th anniversary of the Rodman Ride for Kids is fast approaching!
It's the largest fundraiser of the year for BBBS of CMMW and is truly a team effort among our agency, our corporate partners and their employees, and our sponsors. Every dollar raised goes directly to BBBS of CMMW.
Supporting our organization is easy! You can ride a bike, be a virtual rider, or make a pledge in support of a rider or a team.
An amazing way to show your support this year is to start a Rodman Ride for Kids team at your organization!

The Discovery Museums Traveling Science Workshop
As part of our STEM Initiative, we partnered with
The Discovery Museums to bring one of their many Traveling Science Workshops to our program at The Framingham Boys & Girls Club.
This workshop was all about sound! Tuning forks, ping pong balls and wrenches were just a few of the items used to demonstrate that sound is vibration.
