We could not have asked for a better trio of performers for the night. First up was Gregg Harper, who played his guitar and harmonica with passion and gave us all some songs to sing along to. Next, we had the chance to hear original music by Eric Stepanian. Our night was capped off with an acoustic set by members of the local band Sidewalk Driver. Sidewalk Driver holds an extra special place in the night since the guitarist, Jared Egan, is one of the runners on our Boston Marathon team. If you liked what you heard, please be sure to check out their websites or albums in the iTunes store. Supporting local music is appreciated!
Doyle's Cafe put out a great spread of appetizers, pizzas, and salads (for the runners!). Our server, Shannon, was great in the room, too! Never once did she seem flustered with 130 people looking for pints of Guiness.
The team and Franklin Park Coalition look forward to your continued support over the next few months as we train to run 26.2 miles and fundraise for an amazing cause. Thank you to all of our guests...we hope you had as much fun as we did!
Each of our runners brought a prize along for our guests to win. It was a great selection.
Boston Marathon Team member Jason C. is ready to greet guests...and, no, he won't share his Guiness with you.
