Thank You To All Who Helped Make The 14th Annual Save R Streets a Success!
We want to take a moment to write a long post full of gratitude to everyone who helped to make this year’s 14th Annual Save R Streets a success, despite the rain postponment & delays, changing of our weekend and then moving a two day tournament to 1.5 days to ensure it could coexist with existing community events & tournaments.
Thank you to Bishop William Dickerson for praying for our City, my colleagues Rep. Christopher Worrell, DA Kevin Hayden, Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune , Mayor Wu, Candidates Henry Santana and Bridget Walsh for stopping by.
Thank you Fox 25 for covering Save R Streets.
Thank you firstly to my hometeam Score4More,Inc.! We are lifelong friends who have produced many community events and it’s not easy to do while maintaining full time jobs and families. It’s been a love letter to our community for 14 years . We know we have inspired & motivated many to do the same. Regardless of what neighborhood we grew up in, we show up to show all generations that we can play, have fun and live in Peace. We have lost many friends and community members to senseless violence - we do not have to and should not lose anymore.
Thank you Secondly to the Boston Parks and Boston Police Department , especially Commissioner Woods and Captain Hussein. Thank you to the multiple other units from the Gang, Motorcycle and Bike Units for your support. You cannot bring thousands of people together safely ( from different neighborhoods) to enjoy our Public Open Spaces without their support and Cooperation . Our #1 goal is to Silence the Violence.
