2003 News and Event Archives

PYD participants, families and friends are invited to join us on July 20, 2003 for a fun (free!) summer outing generously sponsored by the Boston Model Sailing Club and the Atlantic Fish Company. Everyone will have the opportunity to take the controls and race model boats! Delicious lunches have been donated by the Atlantic Fish Company. Lunch will take place from Noon-2pm and the races will be from 2-4pm. Meet us at the Esplanade between the footbridge on Dartmouth Street and the footbridge on Fairfield Street (closest MBTA stops are Charles Street on the Red Line and Copley on the Green Line). A camera crew will be there to snap some shots of our day at the races! If you would like to attend, call Kerlyne at (617) 556-4075 X18.

Stroll or roll along the beautiful Charles River at the annual PYD 'Anything on Wheels' fundraiser. Each year, PYD hosts a day of family fun that includes a wheel-a-thon, music, face painting, games and more. This exciting day also raises money to help PYD fund its award-winning programs throughout the year. You can join the fun in a number of ways. First, you can come on the day of the event and participate in the wheel-a-thon. You can also have your friends and family pledge to financially support your participation. Also, PYD is always looking for volunteers the day of the event. For more information, please contact Jennifer Podgur 617-727-7440x309 voice (TTY: 800-322-2020) or via email: jpodgur@pyd.org.
