Team Taylor's Fundraising Page
The COVID-19 pandemic has had quite a negative impact on the Charles River Center's ability to fundraise to support our 950 adults and children with developmental, intellectual and physical disabilities. All our fundraising events since March have been canceled because of the Stay at Home directive and social distancing.

We had hoped that the 5K Run/1 Mile Walk could still be held as it is a very important fundraising and social community event, but it became clear that it could not happen in the traditional way.

We are excited to announce that the 10th Annual 5K Run/1 Mile Walk is going virtual!

About The Charles River Center

Charles River Center About Us

The Charles River Center (formerly Charles River Arc) is a private, nonprofit human service agency in Needham, Massachusetts, providing employment and job training, residential homes, therapeutic day programs, and recreational programs for children and adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. Founded by a group of parents of children with special needs in 1956, the mission of Charles River has always been to improve the quality of life by helping each individual with a developmental disability achieve his or her highest possible level of independence so that he or she can fully participate, benefit, and become a contributing member of the community.

The Charles River Center serves over 500 families from many communities including Needham, Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Dedham, Cambridge, Brighton, Brookline, Framingham, Natick, Westwood, Dover, Waltham, Roslindale, Hyde Park, Roxbury, Watertown, Quincy, Norwood, West Roxbury and many more.
