Special to The Advocate

On July 26, 2025, State Representative Joe McGonagle presented a donation from several local Everett businesses to Home Base for their annual Fenway Park fundraiser, Run to Home Base. The event included a pre-race ceremony with leaders of the organization and a 9k run and a 5k run/walk and concluded at the Red Sox game that evening. McGonagle has been working with Home Base to serve veterans across Massachusetts and the country since his appointment to Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. He attended the event and met with dozens of veterans, their families and healthcare professionals who work with the program.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Home Base and seeing all the work they do for our veterans,” said McGonagle. “They truly change lives and we are so lucky to have this resource right in our backyard. When I reached out to some local businesses, they were all too eager to support this worthy cause. I’m so thankful to this community and excited to see all we can accomplish with Home Base.”

Businesses who participated include White’s Auto, Sabatino/Mastrocola Insurance, Main Street House of Pizza and Sal’s Cleaners.
